Dive Truk Lagoon, departs from Weno
Year Round 7 or 10 nights
Experience the Wreck Diving Capital of the World with your favourite liveaboard fleet and delve deeper into history!!. The majority of the 61 sunken ships and aircraft from the Japanese fleet lie well within recreational limits and experienced divers will find plenty of sites to choose from during the course of our liveaboard safari.

There are numerous channels that cut through the reef which serve as hunting grounds for reef sharks and schooling pelagics which all add to the wonder of diving Truk
Truk Lagoon - Liveaboard Diving Itinerary
Departing from Weno, our 7-night and 10-night liveaboard dive trips on the S/Y Truk Siren take you directly to the main concentration of wrecks lying within the bay. The S/Y Truk Siren will moor over the deeper wrecks allowing for our divers to descend easiy down the line directly to the wreckage. Tec divers will benefit from the support of the "mothership", whilst our 2 dinghies are able to shuttle less experienced divers to the shallower sites and offer reef diving as an alternative to the wrecks.
Many of the wrecks are "Maru" or merchant vessels that had been left at anchor, some had been fortified with anti-aircraft weapons and many carried important army supplies including Zero Fighter aircraft parts, tanks, torpedo shells, trucks and road supplies. Bottles, cooking utensils, items from everyday life and personal artifacts can be found in several of the wrecks, serving as a reminder to the visiting divers of those who lost their lives during the battle. The more gruesome reminders of the conflict, such as human skulls, have since been removed and may now only be seldom seen in the deeper reaches of the wreckages.
