Amazing trip in Cocos Island!
This trip on Cocos Island was amazing: hundreds of hammersharks, a whale sharks, dolphins and many galapagos & silver tip sharks. I think our 2 divemasters (Juan Manuel and Luis) were amazing: probably among the best in the world! They know the divesites very very well since they are very experienced in Cocos Island, they can anticipate where to go depending on the conditions (current, swell...) and the sharks behaviour. Many thanks to them! I think it was necessary to have at least 2 divemasters for a very big group of 10 divers. One in the front to lead the dive and one at the back to try to spot animals and to make sure nobody is lost in the blue. The general atmosphere on the boat was friendly and very fun. The food was good and the room very nice, with a good level of service. I strongly recommend Sea Hunter!

The best trip for me on planet earth.
Schools of hammerheads; all the different rays: manta, mobula, bat and marble; jack school; a trip in the submersible to 1000’ but also, all of the other fish, big and small…I loved them all.

All around amazing Liveaboard
Mind-blowing dives with schooling sharks and fish, a world-class crew - all master of service within their disciplines, personalized care for each of the guests, a clean and comfortable boat with so many little touches (e.g. laundry, beer, nightly events), all with the backdrop of a beautiful and untouched paradise island

Very nice dive trip.
Many things are thought out and provided for in advance. Daily briefings, discussion with participants of past dives and coordination of dives for the next day. Moving the dive site if conditions do not allow it to be done safely. I'm a wonderful cruise director (Yen). I felt confident even though I had returned to diving after more than three years off.
