I was lucky to have had the opportunity to visit Cocos Island six times over the last 25 years. The time of treasure hunts are gone, but the real treasure of Cocos Island is not, as the islands real treasure is its unique ecosystem - the flora and fauna not found elsewhere in the world. Paradise for Divers Today Cocos Island is the most sacred place in Costa Ricas extensive Park System. You need a very good reason to get permission to visit the Island. Seasonal diving trips are organized to Cocos.
