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.

Christian

Greetings from Matt,

Welcome to Scuba Board! I came here to look for help with my scuba diving dream and the response has been fantastic. So, I know you will enjoy being a member here.
There are a lot of nice and informative scuba divers. It's a good place to meet other divers and share experiences and dreams. Take care from Matt. :butnhome:
