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

Okeanos Aggressor I is a great way to make the 36 hour crossing to Cocos Island. You’ll find plenty to do during the journey to keep you occupied or totally relaxed, as you wish. For starters, you can enjoy the 40 feet of partially covered sundeck with chaise lounges which crowns the boat, perfect for recuperating after invigorating dives. Below that, on the upper deck, you’ll find even more deck space, at the bow and at the rear, where you find deck chairs, wet bar & grill . On this deck, you also find 3 very spacious staterooms. The main deck features a large salon with complete entertainment system, including iPod speaker system and a large assortment of films to choose from and a separate dining area … in addition to the roomy dive deck. On the lower deck are the remaining cabins.
Of course, you’ll find plenty of space for your gear and a complete photo center for photographers.
Email is available onboard through the satellite system. There is a charge for incoming and outgoing email. Private calls may be made from the yacht. There is a cell tower in Wafer Bay with international reception while anchored during the charter.
Meals are served in the dining room. Menus are varied and include barbecues and local & international cuisine. For breakfast you’ll find fresh fruits, hot entrees, cereals and juices. Lunches are buffet-style and dinners include seafood, beef or chicken with homemade desserts to top off the meal. Soft drinks, ice tea, beer, and wine are complimentary.
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.
