Design your own adventure with Cookson Adventures

Cocos Island, located off the coast of Costa Rica, is a remote island that served as the real-life inspiration for the fictional world of Jurassic Park (unofficially). Known for its dense shark populations, this island offers one of the best diving experiences in the world. Here, divers can explore deep underwater terrains alongside marine guides, encountering majestic hammerhead sharks and other marine life around the island’s seamounts. Adventures might include diving in a submersible to witness the stunning marine ballet of sharks and rays at the Everest Seamount. For those interested in conservation, the island provides opportunities to participate in preserving this rich marine ecosystem. Another notable site is the Costa Rican Thermal Dome, a unique marine environment that attracts a vast array of oceanic life due to its nutrient-rich waters. Cocos Island offers a distinctive mix of adventure, natural splendor, and conservation efforts, providing an exciting and meaningful deep-sea diving experience.
