Hello everyone, all I can say about the Sea Hunter and the Silverbanks is that it will never be forgotten. Such great moments. My first statement, with my eyes fixed on the water, was: "They're everywhere." Very overwhelming. You should bring a bit of fitness and good fins. Anyone who has a crush on humpback whales will love this trip.

Coco's Island remains Coco's Island.
Wonderful diving trip experience.
It was my third trip to Coco's Island.
First in 2011 the second in 2018 and now in 2023.
Always almost the same period, September 2011, October 2018 and November 2023.
There is a lot of life underwater in Coco's Nature Reserve, but I have to realize that the hammerhead sharks are getting lower and lower, and that the famous hammerhead wall of shark can only be seen from relatively far away.
Either this is due to the El Niño effect, the water has also become much warmer, 28 degrees compared to 23-24 degrees in 2011, and the sharks are deeper in the cooler water, below 35m depth...or there are simply few sharks.
It remains a beautiful dive spot in my opinion, but I will wait until El Niño is over to book a trip to Coco's again.

The tour was great from A to Z. The crew went out of their way to spoil us. Small problems with our own equipment were solved without any red tape. The dives were well guided and the best options were always selected.

Seahunter and Cocos go again and again!
Simply fantastic what it has to offer.
The boat and the crew is great and the underwater world just a gift to experience the animals in their habitat!

Admittedly, after a few diving safaris we were a bit skeptical at the beginning whether 'only' snorkeling offers enough variety for a week at sea. But at the latest when the first whale calf surfaced towards the group in the water and took a breath at a short distance, this skepticism was gone. Also the adult whales regularly came up to body length, which provided many positive moments and left lasting impressions. Whale watching from the dinghy complemented the snorkeling activities throughout. Boredom was a foreign word here. The whole experience was rounded off by first class guidance from proven experts of the Conscious Breath Adventures team - in the boat as well as optional lectures in the evening. The crew of the Sea Hunter was highly professional, always attentive, but never intrusive. All in all, simply perfect.

The trip with the Sea Hunter to the Silver Bank was a great and unforgettable experience.
The planning and organization by Wirodive, the on board support by the crew of the Sea Hunter and the dedicated efforts of Gene, Jeff and Cat were fantastic. Along with the other great guests made this trip so special.

I already knew the Sea Hunter from Cocos Island. Therefore, the service and everything around the boat was just as perfect as in Costa Rica, there is nothing to complain about, an absolutely perfect crew, sensational food and top guides on our trip to the humpback whales of the Silver Bank, the complete trip was a complete success, I hope I have the opportunity to repeat this trip again in the future.

Missed the coconuts!
"Criticism" has already been voiced. Unfortunately, some dive sites were "closed".

The ship, the crew, the organization was very good. The info before the trip a bit tedious, especially the COVID - instructions. They were on the one hand only English (details and emotions are lost). Especially the time issues, PCR test max. 72 h were a bit questionable, but has then clarified. There is no such thing as 100%, which is confirmed by the case that occurred. Good will was always there - from all sides, even when the covid case forced us to return early. The decisions and statements of the captain in this situation were clearly understandable to me and were made in time. We were then able to make our decisions in a targeted manner.

Our cabin with bunk beds was very small and dark (porthole only in the toilet), other cabins (with double bed or single beds) are larger, brighter and more comfortable, although at the same price .... Very good food, praise the chef!!! The dive guides are very professional and helpful, Manuel, the cruise director and DM, is the best and funniest dive guide we have ever seen, we all laughed a lot the whole week :). The "hiking tour" on the island is only a short walk up to the ranger hut, about 150 H.M.... to go further up is not allowed, very pity actually, because only further up you get a real feeling of the island ...

You could get a lot more out of the dive sites in Cocos, but the focus is very much on the hammerhead sharks, as well as the support of photographers at the cleaning stations. Divers with alternative ideas are not necessarily supported, which is an absolute shame. The diving in Cocos is very demanding as soon as the weather is a bit worse, as it is with us - everyone should know this and take it into account when planning. Otherwise, of course, this is the burner!

I enjoyed the trip very much, although I am an absolute fan of Asia and am very fond of beautiful colorful corals and lots of "macro-getters"! That's one star less at the dive spots. The crew and the food, everything perfect! Unfortunately, picture upload did not work!

After a turbulent crossing came the beautiful part of the journey. Spectacular dives with the sharks, tiger sharks close enough to touch. And at night sharks in hunting fever, what more could you want. ..
The guides also provided great entertainment and atmosphere on board.

Cocos Island is always worth a visit. The highlight are the cleaning stations with the hammerheads. We divers are distributed like in a theatre all around and then it's "stage free" for the hammerheads, who approach one by one and let themselves be cleaned in peace. In the blue water you can see the shark schools passing by. There are also many Galapagos sharks, from time to time a tiger shark and with good luck even a passing whale shark. Action-packed diving that rewards the long journey.
