Undersea Hunter and Sea Hunter
Cocos
Island, lying isolated in the tropical Pacific, three hundred miles
southwest of Costa Rica, is an ocean oasis. Its isolation is the
essence of its magic. For decades the hideout of pirates and adventurers,
Cocos Island is recognized today as among the last truly wild places
in nature.
A distinctive and remote diving location, Cocos Island
is for the serious diver. In the world-renowned waters surrounding
Cocos Island you will dive with white tips and hammerhead sharks,
dolphins, manta rays up to 18 across, marbled sting rays approaching
6 in diameter, giant moray eels, sailfish, and an occasional whale
shark! Additionally, you will see large schools of jacks and tuna,
creole fish, octopus and other various reef life. Silky sharks,
silver tips, marlin, and green turtles are also in the area. In
an era where ecological catastrophe haunts us at every turn, Cocos
Island stands today as an example of natural harmony.
The Undersea Hunter and the Sea Hunter offer live-aboard
experiences that are unmatched in the comforts, the food, the excellent
service, and of course the spectacular locations they provide. Avi
Klapfer and Yosy Naaman have combined their over 30 combined years
of live-aboard experience, and years of planning and advice from
leading professionals in the diving industry, to create the singular
designs of these two vessels. The drive of these two men and their
vision have created a new standard for what live aboards are expected
to provide to diving expeditions.
The
Undersea Hunter and the Sea Hunter are also extremely well suited
to support special projects. They can provide support vessel functions
for underwater film productions, oceanographic research, research
with submersibles, marine salvage, search and recovery, and supply
and transport duties. Contracting one of our boats is contracting
both a boat and a crew with years of experience in the above areas.
Our boats also offer full technical diving support
and courses. During one of our trips a diver can become certified
in diving with Nitrox and Rebreathers. Nitrox allows divers to have
longer bottom time at any given depth and less fatigue and a clearer
head, and rebreathers allow divers to come within feet of the most
spectacular animals in the world, something impossible with noisy
bursts of bubbles.
Our prime destination is the extraordinary Cocos Island,
a place of enchanting natural beauty, which has recently been declared
a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has been recognized as one of
the most outstanding dive locations in the world and offers more
pounds of fish per gallon than you will encounter anywhere: hammerhead
sharks, tuna, jacks, snappers, whitetip sharks, manta rays, marlins,
dolphins, goat fish, groupers and even occasional whalesharks and
humpback whales.
Join us for one of our adventures into this magnificent
and spectacular marine environment! Sea Hunter and Undersea Hunter
assure you a trip of a lifetime.
