Your adrenaline will surge sailing through a school
of hammerheads, emerging to find yourself encircled by curious
white tip sharks. A chance encounter with a pod of
dolphins could create an indelible memory, with gliding manta rays
and tunas as your dive buddies. Let's hope to glimpse
a whale shark or a marlin as they erupt out of nowhere. The rocky reef writhes with fish and stingrays, spiny lobster
and eels. In all, over 200 fish and nearly as many shellfish,
crustaceans and coral species call this remote ecosystem home.
This is Isla de Coco, Costa Rica.
Diving Cocos Island is challenging due to currents and isolation.
