The bringing of this 110 feet vessel to Costa Rica helped put the country on the map as one of the top destinations for Scuba Diving. The Okeanos Aggressor acquired the necessary permits from the government to carry out diving trips and research at the protected Coco Island.
The island’s magnificent marine life is considered one of the top ten diving destinations in the world due to its numerous schools of hammerhead sharks, white-tipped sharks, whale sharks, manta rays and tuna. The Okeanos Aggressor up until today evokes images of scuba diving surrounded by hammerhead sharks at the Coco Island.
Soon after the Okeanos Aggressor made its debut at the Coco Island, two other vessels have joined the action. The other two vessels are owned by Avi Klapper and include the Sea Hunter and the Undersea Hunter.
The Okeanos Aggressor offers around 35 annual trips departing from the port of Puntarenas in Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast. Trips are offered in 8-day trips with 5 days of diving and 10-day trips with 8 days of diving. When the weather allows it, guests are allowed to go ashore and enjoy the island’s unique volcanic-origin flora and fauna and swim in one of the island’s many waterfalls.
