To get to Cocos Island, you'll typically start your journey from the mainland of Costa Rica, most often departing from Puntarenas. The trip to the island is usually undertaken by liveaboard boats, and it can take up to 36-48 hours to reach the destination due to its remote location in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 550 km off the coast of Costa Rica. While the travel time may reduce the total number of diving days compared to other destinations, the unique and pristine diving conditions at Cocos Island make the journey absolutely worth it. The island offers an unparalleled opportunity to dive with large pelagic species and explore untouched underwater landscapes
