Líder de expedición: Ricardo Castillo
Wanting to Dive Truk Lagoon is by far one of the biggest wishes of most divers globally – yet why do so few divers ever get to this world class wreck diving destination? No longer do serious diving enthusiasts want to be «led by the nose» by dive guides who limit depth, dive times and penetration opportunities to the least experienced diver, thus minimizing most peoples diving satisfaction. We have not only taken away a lot of the gear problems associated with technical diving in Truk Lagoon but also, with a little planning and organization, match up the right people on the right boats. That way if you want to do a 4 hour runtime – you can!!!
General Information
These trips to Truk Lagoon are fast becoming one of the most popular ways to experience Diving Truk Lagoon! We do all our diving through Blue Lagoon Dive and stay at the Blue Lagoon Resort. We work extremely closely with them so that you can enjoy extended dive times on these world class wrecks. So if you are a diver that wants more out of your diving then you will feel right at home here.
With a max of 6 people per boat and 1 Boat per wreck we place people very carefully on boats that will be conducive to their level of training and experience ( So if you are an experienced recreational diver you won’t be put onto a technical divers boat and have to wait hours for them to surface!!!! – They will have their own boat and be focusing on deeper less accessible wrecks! for longer bottom times) It is this focus to detail that we pride ourselves on.
