2025 Cocos Island Shark Conservation Trips

A Liveaboard Trip of a Lifetime

Cocos Island is consistently named one of the top 3 diving destinations in the world. This extremely remote island off the coast of Costa Rica is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site and known as “the most beautiful island in the world” by Jacques Cousteau. Here, hundreds of hammerhead sharks gather at most dive sites around the island! On top of that, we’ll look out for manta rays, tiger sharks, white tip sharks, whale sharks, dolphins, and so much more. There’s almost too much to see at Cocos Island.

Cocos benefits from several deep ocean currents, which bring an abundance of food and pelagic animals to the area. Land-side is just as impressive with lush tropical forests and even stories of lost Spanish gold, which has become part of the island’s pirate lore. Altogether, this makes for the perfect Dive Ninja expedition.

Join Dive Ninjas and one of Costa Rica’s top shark scientists, Marta Cambra Augusti, for this Shark Conservation Ninja Trip. For 2025 we are taking the brand new Cocos Aggressor - hands down the most beautiful & comfortable ship operating in Cocos!
