Mar: TRUK LAGOON WRECK EXTRAVAGANZA....

  • 10 days LANDbased Mar 10-20, 2027
  • 7 days liveabaord Mar 20-27, 2027 on the boat 
  • 7 day post liveaboard sister trip looking at Kosrae, or Pohnpei or possibly Yap.  Mar 27-Apr 3, 2027  (NOTE: At this time trying to fly to Palau is more difficult than usual necessitating cutting the liveaboard short or staying in Guam for 2 days to get to Palau AND it has become very expensive in addition to challenging logistics. So we are looking at sister islands in Micronesia with exceptional diving and very little diver impact. We may even try to make it to Yap as well but again the flights are very challenging...so stay tuned. 

We are planning on  doing 7-10 days in Truk BEFORE the boat days to allow for mixed dive boats meaning more technical divers wanting to do deep deep wrecks and intermediate divers wanting deep wrecks and divers wanting more shallow wrecks of which Truk has it all from 20ft to over 200ft. We can do some mixing of dive skills on the boat of deep and very deep but not a lot of shallow as the mother ship locates by the wrecks to allow simple return to the boat WITHOUT NEEDING A ZODIAC.  The more shallow wrecks are smaller and can not support 16 divers which is what the boat holds. The last day the group graduates to the San Francisco Maru which is 100-186 ft deep (top = 100 ft and bottom = 186). If someone does not wish to dive this wreck which we usually have 2-6 people who will do something different much shallower. Since this will be the 4th trip to Truk for SingleDivers.com and the last Truk trip for a number of our core wreck diving members... we are looking at adding in some other very deep wrecks such Aikoku, the Amigasan, the Momokawa, and the Shotan. We will do some classic Truk wrecks but they are the same ones that everyone else does AND WILL BE DONE ON THE LAND TRIP partially because they are iconic but partially because other operators offer them so people expect similar consistency.  So by offering the land based part of this epic adventure... we can help those wanting to 'do Truk' as a more recreational experience BUT we can also allow those wanting a more advanced, exotic and challenging experience to dive the most iconic wrecks... thereby offering SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

~~Karin

Hey girl...we have traditionally done this but the flights no longer work without missing part of Truk OR spending several days in Guam trying to get there etc. Sadly the air to Palau from Truk is almost as much as the air to Truk and back to the US. So as of now ...it just will not line up well.

 

And usually those who want to do Palau are not deep wreck people and those who are deep wreck people are not people who want to do Palau.  So we are looking for a more cost effective island nearby to maximize the travel there but nothing is set in stone.

 

If flight options change all of this could be totally different but we met with the vendors in NJ and the most current info is what i have just shared right now.

 

I am looking at doing a SEPARATE PALAU trip so we can maximize that experience.
