Shark Heaven off Cocos
Every dive was very good, but the first dive we saw the Whale Shark. On several of the dives, the Barber fish cleaning stations were so active it was a constant flow of hammerheads.

- The dive panga crew was excellent - Roberto, Juan Manuel and Balin are some of the best we have dove with. Great shark experience; whale shark, lots of hammerheads and white tips, silkies, Galapagos and oceanic blackcaps.

Great experience!!
As above, the diving was wonderful. Saw numerous hammerheads both far and close. Saw one whale shark (up close). But in addition to this, the diving was wonderful. Would highly recommend this trip. Only thing that was not up to liveaboard standards was the food. It was acceptable, but not what we would hope for. Divemasters and boat drivers were superb.

Outstanding dive trip
Even with El Niño negatively affecting the dive environment, we still encountered hammerheads, Galapagos and Black Tip sharks. Not to mention the abundance of fish, reef sharks, and rays. The crew went out of their way to make our trip as comfortable, safe, and successful as possible.
- Recommended for
- 1) The dive masters and crew are the most professional I’ve ever experienced. 2) The Sea Hunter is very comfortable with great food. 3) the diving was exceptional.

"Pura Vida!" The 'must dive' Cocos experience.
Swimming with a wall of hammerhead sharks, drifting with thousands of Jack's, and diving with knowledgeable experts and good diving companions. These memories will stay with me for ever. It did rain for most of the trip, but that did not spoil it for me, even with reduced visibility by Cocos standards, it was amazing to a British diver. This is not a trip for the inexperienced. There was some challenging currents and waves, but our trip was in the rainy season. Everything was very efficiently run and all were extremely helpful and friendly. To really seal an excellent trip, my clothes were washed, dried and neatly folded just before we returned. Luxury indeed; worth every penny and hopefully I will return to Cocos, on Sea Hunter but in the dry season.
