UD Rating – 3 Star

MV Undersea Hunter

Offers a stable and bobust trips to the islands.

The Undersea Hunter offers additional trips around Cocos to take in the variety of pelagic animals resident in the area. Cocos is highly recommended for those with a passion for big stuff.

Many have crowned the Sea Hunter as the paramount, purpose-built live aboard vessel, the gold standard for all other dive boats. She is a superbly stable and robust craft, formerly a commercial dive-support vessel, built to serve the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico.

Now redesigned and configured as a consummate hybrid, Sea Hunter combines the large platform, functionality and powerful machinery of a workboat with the comfortable and relaxed interior of a modern yacht. She is 115 feet of flexible capacity and convenience, a dedicated dive cruiser with a global reach, specifically designed and built for long-range expeditions to destinations like Cocos and Malpalo islands.

We purchased the Sea Hunter in 1994 and through eight months of extensive redesign and renovation, turned the boat into the striking vessel she is today. Sea Hunter has 10 guest cabins with private baths, furnishing live-aboard comfort for up to 20 passengers.

This spacious boat is everything that a serious diver or photographer could wish for - individual gear storage, private camera/strobe storage shelves with 110 & 220-volt AC power, zero-speed stabilizers and even a private washer & dryer for client’s towels and bathing suits. Her roominess and user-friendliness have introduced adventure divers, as well as professional photographers and cinematographers, to an entirely new level of live-aboard facility.
