Comments	The Best big animal diving ever! Consistantly more marine life than I have ever seen. This was the trip of a life time!!! Malpelo had strong currents, big waves and unprotected dive sites. The diving was excellent however and I think you have a better chance to see whale sharks at Malpelo.The diving in Cocos was simply the best I have seen in 30 years of diving!
