Isla Cascara - Cocos Island

Isla Cascara is one of those Cocos Island sites where you just drop in and see what shows up. We’ve had good luck here with hammerheads cruising by, usually in small groups rather than the big schools you sometimes see elsewhere. Keep an eye out for marble rays on the sandy bottom too. It’s a pretty straightforward drift, good for any diver comfortable with current.
