Dive Information & Itineraries

Truk Lagoon Itinerary (7 Nights)

Diving in Truk Lagoon is an adventure you will never forget. WWII wrecks are scattered across 77 square miles. The wrecks are covered with life. There are over 300 varieties of hard and soft corals. On the outer reef, you'll find mountains of coral that stretch as far as the eye can see, and drops off into the abyss. Here it is not unusual to see pelagic sharks. The water temperature ranges from 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Visibility ranges from 30' to 100' depending on where you are in the lagoon and there is little current. The typical diving day aboard the Odyssey is scheduled as follows:

• The day aboard Odyssey begins after a 6:30 a.m. hot breakfast with your first dive briefing around 7:30. You will be able to do two dives before lunch. During lunch, we usually move to a new site. After lunch, you have the option to either do another dive or relax on either of the sundecks or in the privacy of your own stateroom. A late afternoon dive is also offered. Around 6:30 p.m. a sumptuous dinner will be waiting for you. After dinner, you may choose to do a night dive. At night, guests usually gather in the entertainment lounge to enjoy a movie, or review what was captured that day in video.
• Since each day aboard Odyssey offers new adventures, no day is really typical. Nothing is routine and our schedule will vary depending on location
• Most of the dive sites in Truk Lagoon are fairly close to each other, so it is easy for us to move around. The best part about diving aboard Odyssey is that we don't require everyone to dive at the same time. So it is not unusual for you and your buddy to be the only divers on a 500' wreck. For photographers, this offers more opportunities to shoot those popular scenes without having to wait for others to move out of the way.
