I just put my deposit down for a week trip at the end of May-beginning June with Okeanos Aggresor. Anyone have any favorite sites I should lobby for? I'm so excited I don't know if I can wait the 3 months! :yl2jump:
Going to Cocos Island!

crew evaluate the weather and currents and select the dive sites based on conditions.
You won't need to spend much time worrying about which sites are better...they were all impressive. Most people on my trip seemed to rate Alcyon as a favorite.

We had a gentleman give a presentation at our dive club tonight on Cocos Island. The one site I remember him really liking was Dirty Rock. His photos were amazing!
Congratulations, Colette! Isn't that a great feeling?
I'm going in April on Sea Hunter! Yayyyy! (Have been signed up for a year, can't believe the trip is finally approaching!)
Here's a toast to all those going to Cocos and all those wanting to someday!

OK that's me (Andy), just Neil saved his ID (remember me) on my laptop!!!!!!!!!
Anyway drop me a PM if anyone fancy's some real action plus I don't mind to offer training on the Inspiration CCR at the same time........
I think I'm a bit obsessed with this trip going well - I just recalled that I had a dream last night that the trip turned out to be like going to a mudpuddle and we were forced to dive under a tiny boat - and no sharks or even fish. And I took my mother with ????
Thanks for the info everyone - I've read a bunch more and I think Alcyon is the one most likely to have the schools of hammerheads - so hopefully we'll get to that one. Dirty Rock, too, is high on the lists.
I can't wait for your report TaxGeek and I promise to do one as soon as I recover.
Now to figure out what kind of luggage to buy...

That's a hilarious dream, Colette. ;-) I have ones like that!
So what type of luggage are you thinking of? I'm thinking 2 soft duffels for clothes (only a few) and scuba gear, with regs, mask, laptop and camera packed in the SMALL! (and light looking) carryon. I never know how much space the boat will have for luggage stowage.
I'll try to write a report while I'm there.
From what I gather, Alcyone and Dirty Rock are two of the bread and butter sites that all of the boats go to on every trip, so I wouldn't worry too much about them going there.
I'm worried more about the ride out and getting seasick (bleh). My doctor gave me lots of drugs to make me sleep, and scopalomine will be my friend! Hopefully that will be enough.
