On par with the Galapagos and Socorro Islands, Cocos Island National Park is aUNESCO World Heritage Centreand a mecca for all things sharky. Diving here typically wouldnt be described as pretty, as there is virtually no colorful coral, and therefore none of the associated vibrant reef species. But dont be fooled - the waters around Cocos are some of the richest in the world, with Pacific Ocean currents converging to bring all manner of shark species, and a myriad of other pelagics to the island.
