Dirty Rock - Cocos Island

Dirty Rock is a prime spot on Cocos, basically a meeting point for pelagics. We’ve seen huge schools of hammerheads here, often circling overhead or cruising past in the blue. Keep an eye out for marble rays, Galapagos sharks, and even the occasional whale shark making an appearance. It’s a drift dive, so comfortable with currents is a must.
