Why dive here
With 288+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and giant moray eels - Dos Amigos - Big offers some of Cocos Island's richest pinnacle diving.
Dos Amigos - Big, off Cocos Island, is primarily a hammerhead shark dive. We’ve often found large schools patrolling the deeper sections here, particularly around the cleaning stations. The currents can be strong, so it’s best for divers comfortable with drift diving and managing their buoyancy in moving water. Visibility is generally good, allowing for wide views of the open ocean action.
