Day 1: Once all guests have arrived in Puntarenas and boarded the vessel, we will set sail for the 32-36 hour cruise out to Cocos Island.

Day 2: This day will be spent at sea. Guests can use this time to organise dive and camera gear, and to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Watch videos or chat with our crew to get even more geared up for diving. You can also use this time to take the nitrox certification.

Day 9: Make the last 3 dives before the crossing back to Puntarenas.

Day 10: This is another day spent at sea. Use this time to compare adventures with new friends, and enjoy sharing everyone’s photos and videos!
