Cocos IslandCosta Rica has one of the world’s most exciting dive sites, Cocos Island. Located off the Pacific Coast and reached by a liveaboard, Cocos is an adreline-pumping experience with schooling hammerheads and other big fish action not to be missed. Giant manta rays glide around you, white tip sharks hunt around the coral heads, and on the bottom, eels, lobsters and resting rays abound. Dense schools of fish surround you each corner. The isolated Cocos Island is a national park and a World Heritage Site. It is full of life with waterfalls, rivers, dense rainforest, colorful birds and interesting endemic species – don’t miss going onshore when you get a chance!

 
Sea HunterSea Hunter is 115-foot liveaboard built for comfort and convenience. Onboard you will find eight cabins for a total of 18 passengers. All cabins have private bathrooms, storage space and air-conditioning. Choose from three twin cabins with two twin-size beds, two triple cabins with three twin-size beds or two double cabins with one queen-size bed. Common areas onboard include a library, a large lounge with plenty of seating, a dining room, a sundeck with both covered and open areas, and an excellent dive deck with plenty of space, gear storage and a hot shower. For underwater photographers the ship offers personal camera lockers with both 110 and 220 volt outlets. Sea Hunter offers Nitrox.

For an extra thrill, Sea Hunter now has a custom built submarine Deep See capable of descending to 1,500 feet. No decompression needed so you can combine submarine trips with your regular dives. Go and see what lives in the dark abyss where sunlight is never seen! Deep discoveries so far have included the prickly shark, goosefish and a few yet to be unidentified species. Other itineraries onboard the Deep See submarine include prolific marine life at lesser depths of 300 – 600 feet below the surface.
