StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Isla Pajara is a solid spot if you're looking for a change of pace from the bigger pinnacles around Cocos. We often see large schools of jacks here, sometimes so dense they form a shimmering wall. Keep an eye out for white-tip reef sharks cruising the shallower sections, too. It's a good intermediate dive, generally with manageable currents.
