Comments	Cocos is always a good bet when you want to dive with multiple species of sharks and have potential encounters with other pelagics. Hammerheads, silkies, galapagos, tiger, silver tip, white tips, black tips- all present at Cocos. I didn't see the huge schools of Hammers as I have seen before, but there is always a number of sightings and many are up close! The boat is one of the best in the industry and the operation is top notch! The island is so beautiful and the idea of being 300 miles offshore is amazing. We had no other boats for a few days so it was even nicer! Food is great! I have been to Cocos many times and will return again!
