<span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Some 300 miles off Costa Rica is Cocos Island, a tiny Pacific outpost that was once a favorite haunt of pirates. Cocos, a designated World Heritage Site, lies directly in the path of powerful ocean
currents that often collide with the island, churning the waters into an undersea storm.<o:p>
</o:p>These swirling currents carry rich nutrients to a reef teeming with brilliantly colored marine life. Residents include moray eels, hawksbill turtles, leather bass, bigeye jacks, red-lipped batfish, yellow barberfish, hogfish, and sea urchins, to name
only a few.<o:p> <br>

<span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">The currents bring more than algae to this island paradise. They also summon an extraordinary abundance of sharks, providing a golden opportunity to observe some of the most surprising and baffling
shark behavior ever captured on film. The volume and variety of sharks that visit Cocos on a regular basis is staggering, and includes huge numbers of silkies, hammerheads, black-tip reef sharks, white-tip reef sharks, silver-tip reef sharks, whale sharks,
and their distant cousins, the marbled rays.<o:p> <br>
