Wreck Diving - Dive System
Thorfinn anchors centrally to adjacent dive sites in an area clear of wrecked ships and aircraft to avoid damaging fragile structures and corals. Sturdy launches are utilized to nearby dive sites.
Dive groups are arranged to match personal dive profiles in up to four dive launches.
Comfortable 10m covered RIBs and 8m open dive launches assure uncrowded silt-free diving at different sites simultaneously.
Compliant diving within Truk State Laws by accompanying certified/experienced local guides assure safe navigation and penetrations into many giant wreck sites.
Dive boat camera shelves and gear stowage by personal dive staff assure efficient untroubled dive itineraries.
Unrestricted depth non deco air dives by computer, with minimum 15 minute ascents making 3 stops assure utmost safety and post dive comfort.
An emergency hang tank is suspended at 15-20ft/5-6m and is often brought down to deeper wrecks for any contingencies.
Wreck penetrations on buddy principle, preferably with dive guides after cautionary instructions.
Explore massive remarkably intact hulks providing the finest collection of wreck sites in the world.
Sunken bounties of bombs, torpedoes, guns, tanks, planes, mines, trucks, bulldozers and huge cannon shells rest in ghostly silence on Truk's floor. Draped with brilliant soft corals and colorful tropical fish, they recall fateful Pacific island wartime history.
Living above the wrecks within minutes of most popular sites, diving is conducted from big twin-engined tenders transporting dive groups and crew to separate dive sites. Smaller groups assure uncrowded, silt free wrecks with many artifacts still in place 56 years after the battle. Five different daily dive sites afford maximum selections and viewing of coral encrusted wartime relics.
Only the Thorfinn provides each diver the opportunity of exploring up to 30 different wrecks in 7 dive days of a regular Sat/Sat week.
