NOTES on Truk Lagoon Wreck Diving Special Trips:

  • Regular trip schedules are on a Saturday to Saturday basis, with alternate schedules if space permits.
  • Each day's diving is conducted as conditions, equipment, and a diver's personal health and deportment may safely permit under sole auspices of ship's staff.
  • Seaward employs best efforts to perform daily diving schedules as written each morning, but these dives may occasionally vary due to weather, ship's position, and other operational circumstances.
  • Daily dive options are provided on our best intended basis, without warranty to numbers actually conducted on a non-cumulative basis during a dive tour.
  • We do not employ depth limitations within lagoon, but expect divers to retain sufficient air for safe ascents from depth to make a minimum of 3 protracted ascent stops. EAN staged bottles will be optionally provided on request.
  • Due to liquor lounge taxes, we'll pre-purchase beer and wine for guests as requested before arrival, or deliver requests during a supply run each week.
