I wanted to share an amazing experience I have just had in Costa Rica. From Dec 8th to 18th, myself and friends travelled on the Undersea Hunter, to Cocos Island, off Costa Rica, and I can honestly say I felt that I was one of the most satisfied beings on Earth. To witness such magnificent wonders in their natural habititat is a privilidge that few will have and I hope that every diver, at least once in their scuba life, can make such a ´pilgrimage´.
In just 7 days we encountered a pod of Orcas at the surface, were diving with Dolphins, Mantas, Mobula Rays, Marble Rays, Schooling Hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, Whitetip sharks, Black tip sharks, Turtles and thousands of Yellow fin tunas and jacks. Absolutely mind blowing, not just to witness such amazing life, but to see it behaving so naturally!!!
The conditions were awesome, slight waves, moderate currents, and average temp 27C, there were 13 dives on the liveaboard and 7 in our group, mainly dive professionals. I had a great diving on my closed circuit rebreather which allowed me to get closer to the aquatic life and spend longer time photographing them.
Once I get back to Utila I´ll get the photos up online.
Although I am sad the trip is at an end we had a great time, I made some more friends and already we are planning our next group trip to Galapagos next year, if anyone wants to join us we have a few spaces open.
A merry Christmas and great 2007 to everyone!!!
Warm regards,
Andy
