Blue Whale in Costa Rica
October 30th, 2012
Okeanos Aggressor is a fleet designed to give scuba divers the best experience they have ever had while indulging in this hobby. The main purpose of this fleet is to give the scuba divers an experience to remember for the rest of their lives. Okeanos Aggressor focuses on quality diving, well thought out safety precautions, and creative layouts of diving for both beginners and seasoned scuba divers. Their customer service gets rave reviews and the dive yachts they have for the scuba divers are planned with careful attention to detail and comfort. The Aggressor fleet also pays special attention to which diving sites provide the most entertainment and information for the scuba divers.
One of the packages Okeanos Aggressor fleet offers is for Cocos Island located off the coast of Costa Rica. Cocos Island is known for its lush and fresh green scenery and plantation. The most interesting part about this place is that it is completely uninhabited except for a ranger station which has been installed permanently. Cocos Island is about 340 miles away from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is surrounded by pinnacles made of solid rock. Plenty of animals inhabit the area and the water is rick with sea life which is why Cocos Island is one of the most popular dive spots. Some of the creatures found in the waters of Cocos Island include hammerhead sharks, white tip sharks, manta rays, tuna fish, and sometimes even whale sharks can be spotted. There is a National Park developed on Cocos Island which is a treat to see if visitors can take a jaunt through it. Since the weather in the area is highly unpredictable, the officials in charge of the trip make sure it will hold steady before letting the visitors explore the National Park. Added to these attractions, there are also plenty of scenic waterfalls that lend even more beauty to the exotic area.
Guests of Okeanos Aggressor fleet will be met by their staff at whichever host hotels have been chosen for the area. The time is set in advance by the authorities and the guests are requested to comply and be on time so the group can leave for the cruise together. The fleet distributes a series of documents which give a detailed outline of the plan so the guests know when they have to be wherever it’s listed. The scuba divers and other guests are loaded onto the yacht which then transports them to Cocos Island. The fleet prepares diving schedules for an entire week; for seven whole days, the divers are booked solid with activities. After the week of diving is complete, the Okeanos Aggressor fleet returns to dock at Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Guests are supposed to check out early next morning and they are also provided with transport to get them back to the host hotels.
The sea life and creatures have already been mentioned above but a few others that can be observed are sea turtles and giant frogfish. All the divers are requested to own a wetsuit before starting the cruise with Okeanos Aggressor fleet.
