Cocos Island December 2020

Post by bris »

Hi everyone,

Here is a video made by one of the divemasters on a Cocos Island liveaboard I was on during my 2020 Christmas break. Cocos Island is 300 miles off the coast of Costa Rica. It was my first liveaboard experience and it was amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about the diving and crew. All the dives were negative entry. Lots of time spent hanging out at cleaning stations and then drifting in the blue. I didn't go past 100' and they were very strict about not going into deco. I skipped one dive to hike on the island that was really cool.

I was on the Sea Hunter vessel operated by the Undersea Hunter. The trip was 11 days with 7 days of diving. 3 Dives a day. Lots of sharks, fish and fun.

My camera is just a GoPro mounted on a sola light.
The footage in the video was from the divemaster and he just had a Gopro or something similar with lights on either side.
