Cocos Island Liveaboard: Scuba Diving Vacation in Costa Rica

Dive Into Adventure: Cocos Island With the Okeanos Aggressor II®

Setting Sail for an Unforgettable Journey

Come aboard the luxurious Okeanos Aggressor II®, a sleek 120-foot yacht designed for ultimate comfort and adventure. Your journey begins in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, where this floating haven departs for a thrilling 36-hour voyage across the Pacific to Cocos Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with life. Onboard, indulge in private staterooms with en-suite facilities, a sun-drenched cocktail deck, and ample space for dive gear. The ship cruises smoothly at 10 knots, offering a stable and safe journey to one of the most remote and biodiverse diving destinations in the world.

Beneath the Waves: The Underwater Paradise of Cocos

Diving at Cocos Island adds a whole new dimension to your thoughts about the definition of spectacular. The surrounding rocky pinnacles are a magnet for marine giants. Descend into crystal-clear waters where schooling hammerhead sharks glide in mesmerizing formations, while manta rays and whale sharks make unforgettable cameos. Sites like Dirty Rock and Alcyone promise heart-pounding encounters with massive schools of fish and scalloped hammerhead sharks. Over seven days of diving, you can indulge your adventurous aspirations with up to 21 dives, ranging in depths from 55 to 110 feet, all guided by experienced professionals.

Not a Scuba Diver, our Birding Itineraries may be just what you want

 Cocos Island National Park offers a verdant jungle paradise to explore. Weather permitting, guests can hike through the untouched rainforest, marvel at cascading waterfalls, and perhaps even spot the elusive and colorful cocos cuckoo or the unique cocos finch, a member of the tanager family. Both birds are endemic to this magical island (found nowhere else on Earth). Keep your eyes to the skies for glimpses of pelagic birds, like the majestic red-footed booby, the strikingly magnificent frigatebird, and the elegant wedge-tailed shearwater. With a backdrop of towering cliffs, our exclusive birding itineraries offer daily shore excursions, immersing you in the raw beauty and ecological significance of a true natural wonder.

Life Onboard: Relaxation and Entertainment

After a day filled with diving and exploring, the Okeanos Aggressor II welcomes you back to relax on the sun deck with a cocktail, savor delicious meals prepared by our onboard chef, or gather in the spacious salon for nightly entertainment. From fish identification presentations to casual movie nights, there’s something for everyone. Divers can take advantage of the personal storage lockers and the convenience of 80-cubic-foot tanks, making each underwater adventure fluid and hassle-free.

Highlights of the Adventure: Top Dive Sites

Cocos Island is renowned for its world-class dive sites. At Big Dos Amigos, swim through an awe-inspiring 45-foot-high arch while spotting rainbow runners and yellowtail snapper. The Manuelita Wall offers a sheer drop teeming with white-tip sharks and marble rays.
