Cocos Island (Costa Rica), Latin America

Located some 375 miles off the western coast of Costa Rica, Cocos Island offers exhilarating diving for the more experienced diver. The island itself is volcanic in origin and covered in dense jungle. Cocos Island has earned the title “world’s premier big-animal destination” and is a beacon for ocean giants like mantas, tuna, marlin, huge Mobula Rays and of course sharks. This thrill seeker’s paradise is home to schooling Hammerheads, Galapagos, Silkey, Whitetipped and Silvertip Sharks. Whale Sharks and dolphins are also frequently sighted.
