Cocos & Malpelo last 2 spaces 01 July - 18 July 08 (Flight dates UK/UK)

MV SEA HUNTER.   The renowned Sea hunter offers excellent accommodation, very high levels of service and superb diving and safety facilities including Nitrox and also has DeepSee, a custom built one-atmosphere submarine.

Combining Cocos with Malpelo is probably the best diving in the World with a chance to encounter schooling sharks in huge numbers. Malpelo is home to an important coral formation as well as a large variety and quantity of large marine creatures, especially hammerheads. The two most outstanding phenomena in Malpelo are the huge number of cluster and free swimming moray eels and the enormous congregations of silky sharks who often mix with hammerheads to form colossal shark schools.

The Sea Hunter is perfect for combining two of the world’s most rewarding dive destinations. These are adventurous trips suitable only for the experienced diver. With only a few trips every year usually booked well ahead these 4 available spaces will not be there for long.

Price £ 4140 per person. Includes International flights from Heathrow with departure tax and fuel surcharge,       1 nights in San Jose Costa Rica and 15 nights on Sea Hunter.

Subject: Borneo Diving

I'm just back from Borneo and just wanted to say an enormous thank you for organising such a wonderful trip for me.

The diving was absolutely fantastic the best that I have ever experienced. Barracuda sharks turtles galore and so much more. The 2 Shangri La Hotels were superb and all the travel arrangements went off without a hitch.

I would thoroughly recommend this trip to any serious diver. The long journey is well worth it.

I'll be in touch again soon for you to help me with my next adventure.

Meanwhile thanks for your excellent service
