Truk Lagoon was so fantastic that we have to go back again. The Truk Odyssey was originally a forty passenger cruise ship in Fiji, purchased by two Americans, and converted into a premier dive boat accommodating only 16 lucky wreck divers.

Onboard the Truk Odyssey

Truk Lagoon: The Ultimate Wreck Trip

The 126’ Truk Odyssey screams space.  Six cabins (14’x18’) have either one king or two twin beds, one cabin (10’x9’) accommodates either a couple or two singles, and two cabins (11’x6’) are singles.  Each cabin has it’s own bathroom, air conditioning, carpeting, porthole or window, and plenty of storage space.

The rest of the boat is also nicely set up.  There is a large dining area, kitchen, and a separate entertainment lounge.  Out on the dive deck is a three-tier camera table, two camera rinse tanks, equipment bins under each seat, and an easy entry/exit area.  Diving is done from the mother boat. 

The diving consists of tropical reefs on top of wrecks.  The wrecks themselves are fabulous, with plenty of relics, such as tanks, fighter planes, trucks, and anti-aircraft guns, as well as smaller items such as shell casings, torpedoes, dishes, etc.  There are beautiful coral formations growing everywhere, with lots of fish life, big and small.  A diver doesn’t have to be in love with wrecks to enjoy Truk Lagoon, and wreck penetrations are not necessary for a great dive.  Four to five dives a day are the norm, including night dives.  And since the diving is in a large lagoon, the water is usually calm, with little or no current.

The price of $2595 includes seven nights twin share cabin, six days of diving, up to five dives a day, Nitrox, all meals and beverages including beer and wine, island visits and exploration, and roundtrip airport transfers.  A guaranteed single cabin is $500 extra.  Local tax of $60 and gratuities not included.

Interested?  A small non-refundable $400 deposit ($500 for a guaranteed single), will allow you to choose the cabin you want—first come, first served.  Contact us soon.  Call with any questions you might have or check out www.trukodyssey.com
