Equator Diving

Last month we made our second trip to Anilao - this time with a group of 15 photographers! Anilao as always delivered the goods with plenty of critters and some good wide angle opportunities too! Credit has to go to Anilao's guides though - they make the destination world-class allowing long bottom times and finding all the critters so we can fire away with our cameras!

There's a full trip report plus the results of our Anilao photo competition on our website

Here's one of our favourites!

Special Cocos Trip - on MV Argo Liveaboard
26 August - 5 September 2014

Cocos Island is legendary for its huge numbers of sharks, rays and schooling fish. The most iconic sight at Cocos is of course that of hundereds of Hammerheads but you can also expect Tiger Sharks, Silvertips, Galapagos Sharks, Whale Sharks, Mantas, squadrons of Marbled Rays and on our night dive - hunting Whitetips! Our 10 night trip will be run on MV Argo liveaboard - the undisputed experts in Cocos. During our trip on MV Argo you can also choose to make a journey to the abyss (up to 305 metres deep) in the DeepSee submersible carried onboard. This unique submersible offers you the chance to see a side of Cocos few have ever seen! Our trip has been purposefully timed for August/September when the underwater life at Cocos is at its absolute maximum - it is at this time of year that we may even find an Orca or two at Cocos!

The cost of the trip is 5,650USD. This early bird price is discounted from the operator's normal price of 5,945USD. This includes 10 nights on MV Argo liveaboard with 3-4 Nitrox dives per day (7 days of diving), all meals, all non-alcoholic drinks, beer, and return transfers from San Jose to the vessel.
