Okeanos Aggressor I

Okeanos I 1050 opt

Okeanos Aggressor I is a stable & comfortable 34-meter (110-foot) yacht . She takes 22 divers & has been successfully doing the Cocos run since 1988 in that typical Aggressor style.

 

A word from Dom :  "My very first trip to Cocos was in 1988 ... on the maiden voyage of Okeanos I. She was stable, comfortable and efficient then .... and remains so today.  The dependable Aggressor standards will be a part of your journey on the Okeanos I .... and diving Cocos, it goes without saying, will be simply unforgettable."..... Dominick Macan

    TRAVEL & CRUISE LOGISTICS


    All yacht departures are from Puntarenas, Costa Rica.  Guests need to arrive the day before the charter start date and overnight in San Jose, Costa Rica. You may choose to stay at one of the recommended host hotels (Holiday Inn Escazu or Holiday Inn Express Forum) or at another hotel of your choice.  Please note that pick-ups for transfer to the boat are only from these two hotels. You will be met by an Aggressor representative on the day of departure at a pre-set time for the group transfer. 

    Boarding depends on the tide schedule. Immediately after boarding the yacht departs for its crossing to Cocos Island. The crossing takes roughly 36 hours and you can expect to arrive at the island around dawn on Day 3.

    After a full seven days of diving, the Okeanos Aggressor II returns back to the dock in Puntarenas and you will be taken back to San Jose.
