Diving in Truk Lagoon
Truk (officially Chuuk) Lagoon is one of the most remote diving destinations on the planet. Truk is located just north of the equator in the Pacific Ocean and is part of the Federated States of Micronesia.
Diving conditions in Truk Lagoon are excellent, it is relatively comfortable diving and Truk is ideal to visit all year round in terms of environmental conditions. The water is a warm all year, and there are no major thermoclines.
Truk Lagoon is known for it's world-class wreck diving. Having been in the lagoon for more than 80 years, the wrecks are covered in soft and hard coral growth but they are still largely intact. Some wrecks can be penetrated by divers who will discover torpedoes, engine rooms, airplanes, artillery guns, tanks, trucks and ammunition sunk in World War 2. Some wrecks lie in deeper waters making Truk Lagoon a perfect playground for technical divers.
Live Aboard the Odyssey
The Odyssey boasts nine large, luxurious staterooms with large windows, private ensuites and 32" monitors with access to onboard entertainment system. Staterooms are cleaned daily.
The dining area is the most striking room on the Odyssey. Attractive Fijian teak tables that can easily seat a full boat and her crew, along with a full-service wet bar. In the comfortable lounge you'll find a variety of ways to entertain yourself. A well stocked fridge to quench your thirst while you settle in for a good movie or grab a book from the library. Odyssey also has a well-stocked boutique located in the lounge.
The Odyssey boats a large dive deck and spacious dive platform. One 7’ ladder and an in-water elevator to help you out of the water where you can step up to the convenient freshwater shower to rinse off. There are camera rinse tanks for the photographers and gear rinse tanks along with wetsuit drying areas for all divers.

“The Dirty Dozen experience makes diving iconic Truk Lagoon safe and simple. When you can sit on top of the wreck and be supported by an experienced team of safety divers, guides and crew, then anything is possible. I can’t recall a trip where I have had a better experience. I was moved by the history, enlightened by the beauty of the marine life and inspired by the leadership of the organization. I’ll be going back as soon as I can!"

"Underwater: picture yourself in a well-kept aquarium, no current, warm waters, and great visibility. What more can you ask for? Well, wrecks of course, and Chuuk lagoon does not fail to deliver those. My favorite penetrations involve the engine rooms where one can still study the gauges and telegraphs frozen in time. The diving is truly world-class if you are passionate about wreck diving and history. After 10 days diving it’s time to depart, not because you want to, more that you have to, sadly. The diving in Chuuk is so good that another week would not have been sufficient to satisfy my appetite for adventure."
Richard Lundgren, Co-Founder of Global Underwater Explorers -
"This is a unique concept in taking 12 experienced and passionate tech divers to one of the best dive locations in the world with a top of the range liveaboard, full CCR support, A special guest diver and an itinerary that takes in only the very best wrecks that Truk has to offer. It's a fantastic combination that results in amazing dives, great company, fascinating conversations and what can only be described as a trip of a lifetime."
