Diving. Cocos
Excellent diving in late July, despite almost non stop rain and constant grey sky. Whale sharks, tigers and hammerhead on just about every dive. But, it takes 1.5 days navigation to get from Puntarenas to Cocos Island, the boat is small with not much spare spaces and very small cabins. It is run the American way, eg with the aircon always on and always feeling cold, even when asking the staff to adjust it. The chef is doing great on the presentation of the dishes, but it is mostly American cuisine with average quality

Okeanos Aggressor II, May 28-June 7 2022
Wonderful trip, shark week and manta rays plus many other creatures. Crew is fantastic, chef’s meals are superb! We had illness on board, which crew handled professionally in my opinion and did everything possible to accommodate passengers. Aggressor provided testing, hotel (hotel personal were wonderful, very nice & clean accommodations), meals and transportation to airport due to returning 1-day early for everyone’s safety, I wish to thank them all.

Small cabins but very large hearts and top quality service
A great 10 day trip with Capt Carlos and his team. Although the cabin size was amongst the smallest I have experienced, the crew, food and overall experience was superb, which meant the cabins became a minor inconvenience.
