Bucket List Adventures

We want to officially invite you all on our next Bucket List Adventure to Cocos Islands off Costa Rica! As usual, this is a high end, VIP trip, so start salivating and sign up ASAP!! Sorry, this trip is now full!

This is one of the world’s most sought-after dive destinations, full of rare and spectacular marine life. Cocos is home to some of the best big animal diving in the world! It is very well known for its large schools of Hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, manta rays and huge schools of bigger fish. This will be one epic adventure that Dan and I have been dying to visit since we started our underwater careers over 25+ years ago!

After spending plenty of time considering the different factors that go into when to travel to Cocos, we chose July, which is the absolute best time to see most everything that this amazing site has to offer. Since this is such a prize destination, we had to book our trip in the summer of 2025 to get the time and space that our special group requires! We are also going to switch things up and go with the highest rated liveaboard in the area called the Undersea Hunter, it gets even better reviews than the Aggressor, which is the company we have used in the past. 

We chose a 10-day live-aboard dive trip from July 9-19th, in 2025. (In case you didn’t know, it takes 1 full day to get to the dive sites around Cocos from Puntarenas and then 1 full day to get back after the diving is done) Our plan is to arrive 1 day early and stay at a resort in San Jose, Costa Rica so that we can all catch up and off gas from traveling. Then we will stay another night on the end of the trip, to relax for 1 more day before we start our journey back home.

Total trip time will be arriving in San Jose, Costa Rica on Tuesday July 8th, 2025 and leaving on Sunday, July 20, 2025.
