They typically depart from Puntarenas, Costa Rica, and the journey to Cocos Island takes around 36 hours. Once there, the boats anchor in designated bays, such as Chatham Bay or Wafer Bay, providing direct access to the island's pristine waters and dive locations.These liveaboards are ideal for experienced divers and nature enthusiasts. You'll spend your days exploring the rich marine life, including hammerhead sharks, manta rays, and whale sharks, and your evenings relaxing on board. The boats offer comfortable cabins, often with private bathrooms, and amenities like dining areas, lounges, and sun decks.
