Liveaboard Boat Undersea Hunter Scuba Diving Cocos Island

The research vessel Undersea Hunter was built in Florida in 1968 for Perry Oceanographic and was used for twenty years as a submarine support vessel. Working primarily in the Bahamas and the Caribbean, she completed hundreds of research and photographic missions including the Deep Rover Project with Dr. Sylvia Earle.

Undersea Hunter´s closest brush with fame - so far - was her participation as support vessel for the James Bond movie "License to Kill." We bought the Undersea Hunter in June, 1990, and spent five months refurbishing her from stem to stern. Already a capable and well-proven research vessel, the Undersea Hunter was modified to include six new cabins, built with conveniences that surpass all expectations, to accommodate 14 passengers.

With fuel capacity of 40 tons and water tankage of 26 tons, her blue water capability is almost unlimited. Under the guiding hands of Avi Klapfer and Yosy Naaman, the Undersea Hunter is dedicated to bringing civilized comfort to the delightfully uncivilized gems like Cocos Island.
