Boarding and departure times are subject to the tides. Immediately after boarding, the liveaboard departs for its 36-hour crossing to Cocos Island. During trips and between dives, guests can hang out at the bar on the top deck and catch up on the day's diving while relaxing on the comfortable loungers. The Cocos Island Aggressor offers multiple dives throughout the day for an average of 21 dives on a 10-night trip. No night diving is currently offered at Cocos Island.
Guests can enjoy diving at the Cocos Island National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for the chance of big fish encounters with creatures like hammerheads, whitetip sharks, manta rays, and whale sharks. Aside from the incredible diving, guests will also be taken ashore to hike through the jungles of Cocos and swim in waterfalls.

Hammerheads galore
It was an absolutely dream of a liveaboard, Cocos does not disappoint. Hammerheads are such a daily fixture that you get used to see them every dive. Got so many beautiful memories (and videos). It is a very expensive trip, but definitely worth it !!

Exceptional Cocos Island experience
Incredible sealife - including schooling hammerheads and dolphins, enormous manta rays and countless Galapogos sharks, all within clouds of other fish. Excellent service from the crew made us feel very special, and made it one of the most memorable holidays we have ever had.

Aggressor does not disappoint!
The quality of services provided by Aggressor and the scenery and dive site are exceptional. I invite nationals and foreigners to visit Cocos Island on the Agreessor III, the newest of the Aggressor fleet in Costa Rica.

Cocos is one of the few dive locations that lived up to the hype in spades, best pelagics diving I've done thus far.
Cocos is one of the few dive locations that lived up to the hype in spades. Giant Mantas 1 foot away several times, interacting. A Pod of 30+ Bottlenose Dolphins playing with us for 20 mins.Giant Schools of Hammerhead Sharks on several dives, Hammers on every dive.The Food and Professionalism on the Boat was Awesome, Especially the DM and Trip Director Warren. Give Warren a Raise. The boat ride is a long one, but totally worth it. The world needs to mimic the marine protections that the Costa Rican Government has put in place at Cocos.

Top Notch Cocos Diving
The Cocos Aggressor lives up to your expectations as far as crew, boat, diving, and accomodations. Your every desire is taken care of and you can enjoy a super dive holiday. Dives are changed immediately to accomodate the weather but it does not slow anything down. The only negative is the charge for nitrox and internet. 98% of divers are nitrox certified and with the depths of these dives, it should be a mandatory certification for the trip. The boat already has Skylink going continuously, so to charge for it is an inconvenience found out during the trip. Both of these costs should be included in the entire cost of the trip.

The Crew and Island are the entire trip!
Cannot emphasize enough how fabulous this trip was. Cocos Island has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth ... both out of and under the water. Capt. Mauricio is an absolute gem! Always laughing and helped me when I got a little nervous with the 5ft+ swells, gave me the nickname Scarey Shark - hahahah! As a matter of fact the entire crew were gems! Each one always had a smile on their face and made sure that your stay aboard the Cocos Island Aggressor was perfect. Warren the Cruise Director/Dive Guide was passionate, knowledgeable and did an amazing presentation at the end with the video of our trip. You can tell he loves Cocos and diving ... I think sometimes he got so wrapped up in enjoying the dive that he forgot he was our dive guide. Our server Eduardo was spectacular; had our drinks ready at each meal, our room turned down with chocolate each night and EVEN DID LAUNDRY (which is a huge plus on such a long trip) The rooms were nice and comfortable. The WC had a slight odor but seriously what do you expect from a boat. There were designated space under the beds for suitcases which was also a plus. The diving was out of the this world. El Niño ended in April and we were in a La Niña with colder water which brought in the sharks. Oh my goodness were there sharks! Hundreds of sharks! But not only that we saw a Manta, Whale Shark, sharks mating and one person in our group saw a Stripped Marlin in the distance not to forget ALL the fish! We were in the rainy season which I was not looking forward and now I think that is the only time to go. This brought in alot of rain, wind and big swells so trips in the panga were quite bumpy but also brings in all the large pelagics. The land tours were great too. Thank you to the crew of the Cocos Island Aggressor! Can't wait to come back!
