Dive 2: Alcyone what a way to end this trip... The water temp was much colder then the last time on this sight. Cold water means more hammerhead activity and that's just what we got. Lots of hammerheads and rays you know the marble and eagle rays that were all over the place. Max depth 110' strong current.

Making our way back

Now it is time to go home so once again we begin the 30 plus hour boat ride back to Puntarenas Costa Rica. However the trip back wasn't as bad since we know had new fish encounters to talk about.... The highlight on Saturday was a quick dip in the Pacific in the middle of no ware, yes several of us jumped off the boat. The return crossing brought more of the same calm seas we had on the on the way to Coco Island.

So the big question is will we go back absolutely we had a fantastic time! The boat was super, the crew was very accommodating, the divemasters were outstanding and new the dive sites inside and out and the food was great. So yes we will return to the Coco Island on the Okeanos Aggressor.
