COCOS ISLAND
Costa Rica
This is a very unique itinerary. The 300 mile voyage to a natural
wonder of the world. Cocos is the only island in the tropical eastern
Pacific with a tropical rainforest. Its position as the first point of
contact with the northern equatorial counter-current, and the myriad
interactions between the island and the surrounding marine ecosystem,
make the area an ideal laboratory for the study and observation of life
both above and below the surface.
The unique Wind Dancer itinerary covers the Cocos Island
National Park.
Limited to a very few divers at a time, this coveted drift
diving destination
delivers you to one of the most concentrated large animal marine
encounters
in the world. The convergence of multiple ocean currents bring
in massive
schools of hammerheads, tuna, jacks and more. Passing dolphins,
