£600 off the Bahamas Aggressor

Diversity is the name of the game in the Exumas. The coral reefs are alive with marine life of all shapes, sizes and colours. Clouds of jewels, angelfish and butterfly fish swirl around the reefs whilst food-chain toppers like grouper and barracuda reside on the drop-offs and along the reef walls. Reef sharks and eagle rays are regularly seen. There’s even a wreck dive to complete this varied itinerary. Jump onboard and experience some of the best diving the Caribbean has to offer.


Cocos Island

Join the Okeanos Aggressor 2 on selected dates for a trip of a lifetime and save an amazing £1100 on this fantastic Cocos Island liveaboard.

If you love big fish encounters and plenty of drift diving, then Cocos is undoubtedly the place for you. Add to this the peaceful exclusion of journeying to a site few other tourists will visit and you have a dream destination that was surely created with diving in mind. Sharks, rays, turtles, tuna and barracuda all throng around the island, feeding and cleaning on the steep reef walls. The giant swarms of hammerheads are perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Cocos’ waters but there are also white tips, silver tips, Galapagos sharks. Manta, mobula, marble and eagle rays swoop in, feasting on the rich plankton upwelling from the deep.

Okeanos Aggressor 2 has been designed with 8 well appointed staterooms, each air-conditioned and with ensuite. There are also 2 suites if you want a bit more space and even more luxury. Okeanos Aggressor 2 also features all the standard perks of the Aggressor Fleet with plenty of space to relax and hang out in between dives.
