Overall Rating

Flat ocean on the trip to and from Cocos Island. The dive masters were
great with predive instructions which can be very important with some of
the strong currents in the area. Although most everyone comes to
Cocos(myself included)to see big fish, I really enjoyed all of the smaller
life that exist here. At one site as I leaned over a wall waiting for
hammerheads to pass by, an octopus grabbed my preasure gauge that had been
bumping its head. On another sight while again waiting for hammerheads I
was constantly harrassed by several reef fish just dying to have their
photos taken. Large schools of Jacks, Green Morays, Turtles, Mobula and
Manta rays swimming together. On one dive, we were moments away from
seeing a white tip give birth but ran out of air before the big event. And
speaking of white tips, don't miss the night dives off Isla Manulita. The
ocean becomes carpeted with them. It was incredible! And I should mention
hammerheads on nearly every dive. One school numbered over 100.
I want to thank Dive master Victor Hugo who has a great sense of humour
and Captain nelson Dias for such a well planned trip. Also thanks to all
of the staff that make you feel like your at a 5 star hotel.
