Agent Liveaboard – Sea Hunter Liveaboard

The Sea Hunter is an ideal liveaboard to explore Cocos Island she is 115 feet of liveaboard comfort and convenience. It is a dedicated modern dive liveaboard that has been specifically built for long-range dive expeditions to destinations such as Cocos Island. A former commercial dive support vessel, she was robustly built in 1980 to serve the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1994 the Sea Hunter underwent eight months of extensive renovation and refurbishing, turning the liveaboard into the striking vessel she is today. A superbly comfortable, stable and spacious vessel with everything a serious diver/photographer could wish for to explore the amazing Cocos Island waters
She is now a rare hybrid that combines the large working platform and powerful machinery of a functional workboat, with the comfortable and functional interior of a modern liveaboard.
The boat and her crew specialize in providing excellence in service, food, and underwater excitement. She has eight cabins for a total capacity of 18 passengers, all with private en-suite. Dive facilities are extremely well designed with individual gear storage, private camera/strobe storage shelves including individual 110-volt AC power, perfect for the underwater photographer.
Her spacious layout and user friendliness has introduced divers, as well as underwater professionals (photographers & cinematographers) to an entirely new concept in liveaboard.

Agent Liveaboard verdict: Sea Hunter provides the ideal base for serious divers and underwater photographers to explore the amazing marine life Cocos Island offers.
