    Customer Reviews The MV Okeanos Aggressor II liveaboard customer reviews listed here have been chosen for you to get a feel for the scuba diving experience you'll get.
    Customer Review

    Cocos island in luxury. The chef was brilliant as were the crew who did everything to make the guests feel welcome. The visibility was a bit poor but we still got to see many sharks and Manta Rays. The only thing that spoilt it was that I was not told that a pcr test was required before being allowed to board which cost me a lot of money last minute. Recommended for: The crew were exceptional, the food magnificent and the Whaleshark on the last dive.

    Customer Review By Denis E, from: United Kingdom scored the MV Okeanos Aggressor II 9.2 out of 10; Review courtesy of Liveaboard.com, for more reviews and information click here: MV Okeanos Aggressor II.

    Customer Review

    Perfect sport for shark lovers. Cocos Island is a fantastic option for shark lovers due to the variety you can find at each dive. It is a long trip from Costa Rica but completely worth it. The crew did a great job to make sure we all felt comfortable. Special mention to the chef and his assistant, who amazed us every day with fantastic dinners. Recommended for: Dive sites, marine faura, food onboard.
