    Welcome to ScubaBoard!

    Maybe this thread will put you on the right track for info on the Cocos Islands:

    Don't forget to fill out your profile, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we know where you are geographically, you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally.

    Dive safe!

    Hi again!

    I found this web page about another Cocos Island in Costa Rica.

    http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/3425/

    Since I'm not sure which you were actually referring to, I thought I'd post the link for you. Hopefully, one of the two links I've posted is helpful.
