Parc national de l'île Cocos
Why dive here
With 288+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and giant moray eels - Isla Manuelita offers some of Cocos Island's richest wall diving.
Isla Manuelita is one of Cocos Island's more sheltered spots, often a good option if the currents are kicking up elsewhere. You'll usually find white-tip reef sharks sleeping in crevices and sometimes even a few hammerheads cruising the deeper edge of the reef. We'd suggest this site for divers who enjoy spotting smaller creatures as much as the big pelagics.
