Comments	I have been to Cocos several times and every time is different - you never know what the ocean will give you but there is always something very special. The highlights this trip were mating white tip sharks, whale shark sightings, huge schools of jacks, huge Galapagos sharks coming very close (likely related to mating behavior) and of course, the awesome crew at the Undersea Hunter. Its been some time since I went with Aggressor / Okeanos II, but the Agro is a very impressive vessel and operation. The safety protocols, the smoothness of the dive operation, comfort of the boat and the attentiveness / good vibes from the staff is, in my opinion, a gold standard for this type of diving. To get a sense of what we experienced, I recommend you check out our full DIVE HARD trip report on our YouTube page: [youtu.be link]
