I'm sorry, I didn't see your reply, but I see that it was answered. Cocos,
300+ miles off of the coast of Costa Rica, is a wonderful place to dive. I
wouldn't recommend it to novices due to chop and current, but we had some
divers with only 200-300 dives who managed pretty well. This is the spot
for large animals. Schools of hammerheads, silkies, spinner dolphins, tuna,
bait balls, mantas ( we swam with a friendly one for an hour), marble rays,
and the everpresent whitetips provide nice entertainment. We were not there
at the right time of year, but whale sharks are common as well. Enjoy, if
you get the opportunity.
