After an overnight journey of 375 miles in the Pacific Ocean, 21 lucky divers arrive at one of the most coveted dive destinations in the world, Cocos Island, Costa Rica. A week later, they return to civilization with memories of swimming with hundreds of hammerhead sharks, photographing graceful mantas and splashing in waterfalls on one of the world's largest uninhabited islands. The 120-foot Okeanos Aggressor, which hosted a Dateline NBC crew filming a "Thrill Seeker" program, offers ten-day dive adventures originating in Puntarenas, a small fishing village on the western coast of Costa Rica. After an overnight stay in San Jose, Costa Rica, Aggressor guest board a charter bus for a scenic, two-hour bus ride through Costa Rica's beautiful countryside before arriving at the Okeanos Aggressor port. |

Throughout
the week of diving, you'll encounter a spectacular array of marine life
large and small-most quite large! Many diver describe the diving at
Cocos as "high-voltage" or "on-the-edge," and after
drift dives at Alcyone or Big Dos Amigos with a few hundred hammerheads,
thousands of horse-eye jacks and a manta or two, you may agree. Other
frequently seen marine life includes dolphins, tuna, marble rays, eels,
white tip sharks and silky sharks. Okeanos Aggressor divers have also
been treated to spectacular whale shark encounters. Weather permitting,
guests will be shuttled to the island for a hiking tour. The lush uninhabited
island in covered with verdant jungles and countless waterfalls all
waiting your exploration. You may want to capture some of the Cocos
underwater splendor on film with one of the onboard rental underwat
er
cameras. There is a full line of rental camera equipment and dive gear
available throughout the week, as well as certification and specialty
courses including nitrox certification.
