  6. This place has been called many names, one being “a treasure to the world”, but we can all thank the chinese if this place starts going to hell, because they have been caught deploying fishing nets around the island, not caring about all the laws and international treaties protecting the island.

    Cocos Island is beautiful, I been there before.

    (also it comes out in the beginning of Jurassic Park, its the island where the dinosaurs were supposed to be lol)

  12. Hi joanne,

    thanks for posting at my video. There are only 2 dive operators authorized to sail boats to Cocos archipelago. Expect to spend more than US$5,000 in overall expenses (cruise, park fees, crew tips,etc)

  15. WOW I am so jealous, it is a shame it is so expensive to dive at Cocos but, maybe that’s a good thing. I am living in Costa Rica right now and I am probably only going to get to dive Catalina, Murcielagos, or Cano island.
