Embark on a 5 day Micronesia liveaboard and experience wreck diving in Chuuk Lagoon. Previously knowns as Truk Atoll/ Truk Lagoon it is within Chuuk State of the Fed States of Micronesia and is famous for its giant oceanic lake surrounded by a huge barrier reef and islands.
The lagoon is the final resting place for more than 100 ships, planes and a submarine – the legacy of a fierce World War II battle between Imperial Japanese forces and Allied carrier planes. Decades later, they have become natural reefs, draped with sparkling corals, serving as fish havens, with most wartime artifacts still aboard. They are fascinating to visit and accessible to most reasonably experienced divers with vast arrays of tropic fish and invertebrates.
The most suitable method to experience Chuuk is from the Thorfinn. We are conveniently and securely moored in amongst the main wrecks of Truk Lagoon allowing for rapid and easy access to more wrecks and to complete more dives than you can from land based operations. Our able tenders allow quick access to often overlooked outer reefs which have wide varieties of pelagic and reef fish along cascading coral walls stretching down into a blue abyss below.
Our unique liveaboard diving experience offers flexible stays of 5 days (minimum) or more, thanks to our refined system of fixedly mooring our ‘mothership’ out at dive sites. This avoids the need for frequent trips to port for guest changes and supplies. Additionally, it reduces needs and costs to arrange shoreside facilities with direct airport to ship and back to airport transfers. This creates the most safe diving times between your flight schedules.
