Day-by-Day Programme

The group meets in San José. Our journey begins toward the tropics, the ocean, and one of the most legendary dive destinations in the world.
Arrival in San José. A transfer meets us and takes us to the hotel. We check in, rest after the flight, and adjust to the rhythm of Costa Rica. The evening is free: a stroll, dinner, and preparation for tomorrow's departure.
After breakfast, we leave the hotel. A transfer takes us to the port of Puntarenas — the starting point of our oceanic adventure. Around 10:00–12:00, we board the vessel, meet the crew, attend an introductory briefing, and settle into our cabins. Then — equipment preparation, getting acquainted, and heading out to the open ocean. Our liveaboard begins! Course set for the legendary Cocos Island.
A day at sea. Time for preparing equipment, photo gear, resting, and contemplating the vast Pacific Ocean. A chance to fully switch to the maritime rhythm and settle into the liveaboard atmosphere.
Diving program at Cocos Island: 6 days with 3 dives per day — approximately 18 dives total. Depths of 18–30 meters, powerful currents, channels, sheer walls, and a unique underwater ecosystem await us. This is where encounters with massive schools of hammerhead sharks, whitetip reef sharks, mantas, and other ocean giants are possible. Each day — new locations, new emotions, and new discoveries.
We complete three final dives at Cocos. After lunch, we begin the return journey to the mainland. A great moment to review photos and videos, share impressions, and enjoy the calm sea.
A day at sea. We relax, sunbathe, chat — or simply enjoy the gentle rocking of the vessel and the fresh ocean air.
Arrival at the port of Puntarenas and disembarkation from the vessel. Then — transfer to San José. We check into the hotel, rest after the crossing, and spend the evening at leisure.
Hotel check-out and transfer to the airport. Flights home. Our journey ends, filled with oceanic adventures, nature, and vivid impressions.
