Dos Amigos Grande

The larger of two rock spires that break the surface off the exposed southwest corner of Cocos. The signature dive is the cleaning station near 30 m, one of the few spots at Cocos where scalloped hammerheads hang almost motionless while barberfish and king angelfish pick them over — the sharks held still rather than passing in the blue. Ascending the reef, a rock archway rises to within about 18 m of the surface, framing whitetip reef sharks, marble rays, green turtles, and schools of jacks and snapper. Current strengthens toward the shallows.
