Thank you for your interest in our upcoming trip to Costa Rica and Cocos Islands.  Although I have never been to
Cocos, I hear it is another one of THE places to dive before you die!  Recently, I viewed a new Imax presentation of
"The Island of the Sharks" which featured Cocos Island! Watching the video, I was reminded of the great dives I've done
in the Galapagos Islands, so I'm looking for a repeat of that  type of excitement!

The main part of this trip will be aboard the Okeanos Aggressor. It's a 10 day total liveaboard adventure with 7 full
days of diving. Typically, I like to do some local touring before boarding the boat, so although we will be aboard the
Okeanos Nov 3-13, I am looking into doing a few tours of Costa Rica  before Nov. 3. So, tentatively, I have the trip
 beginning on Oct 31. Once I  can confirm some neat eco tours I can confirm the actual date of departure, but no matter what,
we have to be in Costa Rica (San Jose) by Nov 2, so those passengers not wishing to do any touring can meet us on
Nov. 2, overnight at a local hotel, then board the boat.

As of this writing (Dec 18, 2011) there are no flights published for November 2012. I did, however, check Jet Blue's flight
schedule through August 2012 and they do have flights NY/Orlando/San Jose for a bit over $600.00 roundtrip. At the moment,
the projected cost of this trip will be between  $5450.00 and $5800.00. It's a bit more than most of my BIG trips, but we are
spending more time on the boat (10 days vs 7).  What we will include is roundtrip airfare (unless trippers want to do their own flights), all hotels, all touring, all transfers and of course, the stay aboard the Okeanos Aggressor. 

The Okeanos Aggressor  will hold a total of 22 passengers, 11 staterooms. Like many of my liveaboard trips, I need to
know well in advance who might be interested in this adventure so I can cancel  some cabins I don't think I can fill
within 9 months of the charter date. So, by the end of January, if you are interested in joining me on another
"Dream Diventure" please let me know and confirm with a $500, non refundable deposit. As with all my BIG trips,
I will work out a scheduled payment plan to ease the pain!

Looking at his year's trip log, water temperature was between 79-81 degrees. They saw lots of hammerheads, white tip
sharks, mantas, turtles, dolphins, etc. So this year's same time group had some real treats! Known for it's marine life and not
corals, Cocos diving is like diving the Sea of Cortez and Galapagos Islands!

I will post more info as the trip date nears and I have more info on flights, tours, etc. In the meantime, if you're not one of the
people yet deposit confirmed for this trip, please call or e mail me and tell me you want to go!

Thank you for your interest in this trip. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Capt. Noel Voroba/President/Tour Leader
