THE REGION
Truk Lagoon is world famous as the best wreck diving location in the world. Not only are there countless wrecks, they also are almost entirely in their original state, with neither artfecacts nor ammunition looted. It's an additional benefit that the water is lukewarm, so even long wreck dive can be done in minimal thermal protection. Chuuk is located in the middle of the Pacific and benefits from its remoteness and good currents, so most wrecks are covered in fabulous corals.
WRECK DIVING - REC & TECH
Truk Lagoon is a dream for all, recreational and technical divers. We will do 6 days of diving. Recreational divers will do 3 dives a day and cover as many as 18 different wrecks plus sea planes. Tech divers will dive 2 wrecks a day, all gases and extra tanks are available for rent. You can also mix, dive tech in the morning and recreationally in the afternoon.
​
THE RESORT
Blue Lagoon is the oldest dive shop on Chuuk. The founder was no other than Kimiuo Aisek, the very first person to start diving on these wrecks. Located on a former Japanese airstrip, the palm fringed resort expands out onto a sandy lagoon. From here its only 5mins boat drive to the closest wrecks, which makes diving the lagoon so comfortable from this resort.

TECH DIVING
Blue Lagoon offers tech support so we can offer dives on sidemount and twinsets. Technical dives will include extending bottom time in the 30-40m range and exploring deeper wrecks to 45m for those with TDI Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures certification or equivalent. There is also the opportunity to dive wrecks to 55m for those holding a TDI Extended Range certification or equivalent.
All technical dives must be planned with conservative gas, decompression and oxygen limits. Our tech insider Phil will help with the dive plans for all technical dive groups. For those of you lacking technical certification we can advise on opportunities to take these courses before the trip.
