300 miles south west of Cabo Blanco, Costa Rica, is the Cocos Island Marine Park. This World Heritage Site is a lush green tropical paradise on the surface and a divers delight under the water, yet is a tiny dot on the landscape. But don't let her size fool you. This is a mecca for big fish and one of the 3 magical sites that form the so called Golden Hammerhead Triangle. Cocos can only be reached by liveaboard and what a liveaboard Scuba Travel offers up. The Undersea Hunter's Argo is a relative newcomer but is home to state of the art luxury on board and the absolute perfect platform from which to stride into this remarkable and unique environment.

Formed through the ages by volcanic action, the island is famous for the deep sea pinnacles and cleaning stations which attach predators of all shapes and sizes right onto the reef for some attention. Hammerheads are perhaps the main star, which school in breathtaking numbers, languidly cruising through the currents. But other big fish in the region are also drawn to Cocos, keeps looking out to the blue to see Galapagos, silver tip and black tip sharks. Even tiger sharks are not uncommon, piling on the adrenalin. Huge marbled rays congregate in channels along with manta. Batfish, jacks, tuna complete the fish swarms as dolphin chase and hunt. With frogfish and sea horses for those whose fancy is the smaller beasties, surely every taste is catered for. Diving Cocos is a must see where every minute underwater keeps getting better and satisfaction is guaranteed.
