COCOS ISLAND and MALPELO
|
Diving Escape
to Cocos Island - a lush, green uninhabited island resting 600km
off Costa Rica's Rocky pinnacles surrounding Cocos are beacons for large pelagic animals, particularly schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks. White tip reef sharks, rays and mantas are abundant, as are schools of tuna, jack and snapper. Whales sharks, dolphins and turtles are frequently sighted. Most of the action is between 15 and 30 metres with visibility in the 25-30-metre range. Water temperatures average between 23 and 27 degrees Celsius, with cooler thermoclines. All diving around the Cocos Islands is drift diving. The diving can be challenging due to the island's rugged topography and currents. This trip is recommended for more experienced divers. May to October is considered the best time to dive at Cocos, but conditions are generally very good throughout the year. |

| SEA HUNTER and UNDERSEA HUNTER The Sea Hunter is 115 feet of live-aboard comfort and convenience. It is a dedicated modern dive cruiser that has been specifically built for long-range dive expeditions to destinations like Cocos Island and Malpelo. A former commercial dive support vessel, she was robustly built in 1980 to serve the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico . In 1994 we purchased Sea Hunter and through eight months of extensive renovation and refurbishing, turned the boat into the striking vessel she is today. A superbly comfortable, stable and spacious vessel with everything a serious diver/photographer could wish. She is now a rare hybrid that combines the large working platform and powerful machinery of a functional workboat, with the comfortable and functional interior of a modern luxury yacht. The boat and her crew specialize in providing excellence in service, food, and underwater excitement. She has eight cabins for a total capacity of 18 passengers, all with private bath. Dive facilities are extremely well designed with individual gear storage, private camera/strobe storage shelves including individual 110-volt AC power, and a private dryer for clients' towels and bathing suits. Her spacious layout and user friendliness has introduced divers, as well as underwater professionals(photographers & cinematographers) to an entirely new concept in live-aboard.
