Customized, Personalized Dive Odyssey aboard the Undersea Hunter
The Undersea Hunter began life in Florida in 1968 as a submarine support vessel, doing much of her work with the Deep Rover Project of Dr. Sylvia Earle. A total refit for her new life taking divers to Cocos Island was done with all comforts in mind. She is a luxury yacht within an ocean-going powerhouse.

An Eye-witness Report
I'd like to start with a short report about the once in a lifetime dive adventure we had at Cocos & Malpelo Islands in June, 2008. Already long past for me, but still hot news for those of you who haven't had this opportunity yet!
We were on the new flagship of the Undersea Hunter Fleet, the 131 foot ARGO. She's an incredible new liveaboard & offers the added excitement of the tantalizing "Deep See" submarine on which you can descend to otherwise impossible depths.
We had 15 nights at Cocos & Malpelo, where we dove amongst large schools of hammerheads at almost every site, encountered whale sharks and huge silvertips, even some tiger sharks, rare at Cocos but seen on several trips this year.
Night dives were equally as dramatic with a few hammerheads and silkies, along with hoards of hunting white tips, almost bumping into you in the excitement of the hunt!
In short, I'd have to say that few dive destinations seem to get better and better, but Cocos is one that keeps rocking and never fails to impress, with each trip better than the last !
Join us at Cocos in 2010. Check Availability and Contact us to reserve a space.

On the way to or from the dive sites it is very common to find exciting snorkeling opportunities with Pacific Mantas, Bottlenose Dolphins or even a Bait Ball that will keep the adrenaline flowing all day long.
Also, between the dives and weather permitting, there is time for Sea Kayaking and/or land excursions.
