Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“The Crew and Island are the entire trip! Cannot emphasize enough how fabulous this trip was. Cocos Island has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth ... both out of and under the water. Capt. Mauricio is an absolute gem! Always laughing and helped me when I got a little nervous with the 5ft+ swells, gave me the nickname Scarey Shark - hahahah! As a matter of fact the entire crew were gems! Each one always had a smile on their face and made sure that your stay aboard the Cocos Island Aggressor was perfect. Warren the Cruise Director/Dive Guide was passionate, knowledgeable and did an amazing presentation at the end with the video of our trip. You can tell he loves Cocos and diving ... I think sometimes he got so wrapped up in enjoying the dive that he forgot he was our dive guide. Our server Eduardo was spectacular; had our drinks ready at each meal, our room turned down with chocolate each night and EVEN DID LAUNDRY (which is a huge plus on such a long trip) The rooms were nice and comfortable. The WC had a slight odor but seriously what do you expect from a boat. There were designated space under the beds for suitcases which was also a plus. The diving was out of the this world. El Niño ended in April and we were in a La Niña with colder water which brought in the sharks. Oh my goodness were there sharks! Hundreds of sharks! But not only that we saw a Manta, Whale Shark, sharks mating and one person in our group saw a Stripped Marlin in the distance not to forget ALL the fish! We were in the rainy season which I was not looking forward and now I think that is the only time to go. This brought in alot of rain, wind and big swells so trips in the panga were quite bumpy but also brings in all the large pelagics. The land tours were great too. Thank you to the crew of the Cocos Island Aggressor! Can't wait to come back!”
