Undersea Hunter Group

Costa Rica, Cocos Island & Malpelo Island

Discover the Island of the Sharks

Cocos Island delivers some of the most spectacular diving on the planet. Here, pristine waters take you directly to the largest hammerhead schools in the world.

Undersea Hunter welcomes you to the realm of large pelagic fish, where the ocean explodes with life. Inhabitants include 12 shark species, several kinds of rays and sea turtles, and clouds of jacks large enough to block out the sun.

A Costa Rican national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cocos Island remains one of the most exclusive and remote diving destinations on Earth.

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION

You must arrive at least one day prior to the boat departure date.

Upon arrival to San José, we can have transportation waiting for you (please contact us for a quote) or you can take a taxi to your hotel. There are always taxis available at the airport, even minivans for those of you who carry a lot of gear. We can also recommend and arrange accommodations for hotels in San José. Please note that we do not pick up from all San Jose hotels.

The evening before boat departure, an Undersea Hunter representative will fax you to confirm your pick up time the next day. The evening is at your leisure. Air transport, airport transfers, hotel nights and meals before and after the cruise are not included in the charter.

Day 1

The following day, generally between 8 AM and 1 PM we pick up from certain hotels and transfer everybody by bus to Puntarenas where you will board the vessel. The drive takes about 2 1/2 hours, and gives you a chance to view the lush forest and rich farmland of the region.

Due to occasional low tides our boats may need to depart from the pier earlier in the day. Should this occur, you will be transferred by skiff to the vessel. When all passengers have arrived on board, the vessel will take a 32-36 hour cruise out to Cocos Island.

Day 2

A travel day. There will be time to arrange dive and camera gear as well as enjoy the Pacific and the sunshine. Also, the group of incredibly experienced divers provides plenty of stories to pass the time. There are videos and the experience of the Captain and crew to help you get excited for the diving...as if you need them. In addition, you may want to take this time to take one of our diving courses.

Days 3 - 8

Spent diving the pinnacles around the perimeter of Cocos Island. Divers usually average three dives per day at depths of 60-100 feet (18-30 meters) or more. This, of course, is what the whole trip is about.

Day 9

Make the last 3 dives before the cruise back to Costa Rica and reality!

Day 10

All day to discuss the diving and to compare your adventures!

Day 11

Arrival to Puntarenas. Immediately after breakfast you will be transported back to San Jose. We strongly recommend staying one more night on land, before flying out, in case of any unforeseen delays.
