Truk Lagoon
February 26-March 7, 2026.
Truk Lagoon was the site of one of the most one-sided battles of World War II. Within just a matter of hours, US aircraft sent dozens of Japanese warships to the bottom. Now, 80 years later, these beautifully coral-encrusted wrecks give divers a window to history.

The destination
Truk Lagoon, also known as Chuuk, is a sheltered body of water in the central Pacific. The atoll consists of 140 miles of protective reef, enclosing a natural harbor 50 miles long by 30 miles wide. Its eleven major islands are home to less than 50,000 people.
During World War II, Truk Lagoon served as the forward anchorage for the Japanese Imperial Fleet. Five airstrips, seaplane bases, a torpedo boat station, submarine repair shops, a communications center and a radar station were constructed during the war.
The vessel
The Odyssey, a 132-foot air-conditioned liveaboard vessel has spacious rooms, private ensuite facilities and a large entertainment lounge. All meals and beverages are included and so is the Nitrox. With small groups of only 16 guests, you’ll make friends quickly and forever.
The diving
Scattered mainly around the Dublon, Eten, Fefan and Uman islands within the Truk group, a number of the shipwrecks lie in crystal clear waters less than 50 feet below the surface (the average dive depth for Truk is 65 feet). In waters devoid of normal ocean currents, divers can easily swim across decks littered with gas masks and depth charges and below deck can be found numerous human remains.
Trip dates
Trip dates are February 26-March 7, 2026. This does not include travel time to and from Chuuk. Remember also that you will be crossing the International Date Line going to and from your destination.
