Grab your passports! Let's go Diving!
The primary attractions in Cocos are the large pelagics, i.e. hammerhead sharks, rays, mantas, turtles, and enormous schools of fish. Occasionally, there are sightings of whale sharks, marlin, and Bottle-Nosed. The bottom of the ocean floor at Cocos Island is volcanic rock. Most of the action is between 50 100 feet with visibility in the 80-100 feet range. All diving is from pangas. You can make up to 3 dives a day: night diving is currently not offered. The approximate 36-hour cruise to the island, and return cruise 28-32 hours, can be uncomfortable to some. We recommend taking precautions for motion sickness. Beginner divers may consider Cocos Island diving slightly difficult due to its ruggedness and currents. This trip is not recommended to new divers or handicapped divers.
You will be diving in water that averages 72 - 82°F with cool thermoclines. Most guests make as many as 3 dives each day (night diving is currently not offered), so some sort of protection is needed. A 3-5mm wetsuit is recommended year-round.
The Cocos Island Aggressor is a brand new custom built dive yacht whose maiden voyage is January 14, 2023.
The Cocos Aggressor is a 124’ yacht, built and powered for comfort, safety and stability. She is diesel powered, cruises at 10 knots and has 110-volt power on board. Comfortable accommodations for 22 guests includes 4 master staterooms located on the upper deck and and 7 deluxe staterooms with side by side twin beds located on the lower deck. Each stateroom features a private bathroom and shower, individual climate control, and a monitor with a media player.
The Aggressor departs from Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Boarding and departure depends on the tide schedule. Immediately after boarding for our Costa Rica liveaboard scuba diving adventure, the yacht departs for its 36 hour crossing to Cocos Island. There are multiple dives throughout the day for an average of 21 dives on 10 night charters. No night diving is currently offered at Cocos Island.
