3 Malpelo und Cocos -- Tauchreise auf der Sea Hunter zum Haitauchen nach Kolumbien und Costa Rica

www.pestivideo.de Malpelo Cocos mit der Sea Hunter vom 10. Aug. bis 23. Aug. 2009 Auf dieser Reise hat sich wieder einmal gezeigt, dass Cocos zu den weltbesten Tauchplätzen gehört. Für mich ist es sogar der beste Tauchplatz für Großfischbegegnungen. Bei unseren Tauchgängen blieben keine Wünsche offen! Jagende Delfine und Thunfische, sich paarende Weißspitzenhaie, Gruppen von Seidenhaien, Mantas, Adlerrochen und natürlich die Hammerhaie!!! The magical, isolated Cocos Island lies 260 miles off the coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific. It is the world's largest uninhabited island rich with lush jungle, cries of tropical birds and cascading waterfalls. A remote underwater pinnacle is a one-of-a-kind dive adventure surrounded by a bustling oasis of marine life. Glide amid schools of hammerheads, white tip sharks and the elusive whale shark, watch the silent ballet of giant manta rays or be dazzled by the sheer numbers of schooling fish. Don't forget study the life on the seafloor—spiny lobster, stingrays, marbled rays, goat fish, eels and array of reef fish are all around. The trip out to this diver's dream takes 32-36 hours from Puntarenas each way so bring a good book to relax with as the luxury liveaboards take you away to an adventure on Cocos Island. Experienced divers only please. All trips are for eleven nights with seven full days of diving.
