Cocos Liveaboards | Dive Holidays

Cocos Liveaboards

Cocos Islands are the glittering gem in Costa Rica’s Marine Parks and can only be accessed by a liveaboard holiday. Lying some 300 miles south west of the main land, this remote scuba diving destination is a haven for local wildlife, both above the water and beneath it. Jump aboard a Cocos liveaboard and prepare to be amazed on what is undeniably a scuba diving holiday that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Scuba Travel works with only the most luxurious boats to ensure that not only your diving but also your liveaboard home for the week exceeds your expectations. Sail the seas in optimum comfort and style on a veritable diving extravaganza, the likes of which are hard to beat.

Set fin into the brilliant blue waters surrounding Cocos island and you will see what has built Cocos’ reputation. Hammerheads are the star attraction here and we don’t mean the odd one or two. Great swarming schools of scalloped hammers visit Cocos’ many cleaning stations to keep in top shape. White tips pass by in giant clouds and Galapagos sharks patrol the plateaus. Manta rays, mobula and eagle rays can all be spotted here, along with the occasional whale shark to feast on the upwelling currents. Alongside all of this big fish action there is no end of smaller reef inhabitants. The diving will not disappoint and with absolute liveaboard comfort, Cocos has all the right ingredients to make this the trip of a lifetime.
