Truk (Chuuk) Lagoon Scuba Trip JAN 2025 (16 -28 JAN or 20-28 JAN )

10 Days diving in Chuuk – Thursday– Tuesday

6 Days diving in Chuuk – Monday- Tuesday

his is it, the trip of a lifetime.  Now is the time to visit this exotic location and see the amazing coral, fish, and of course, the wrecks.  In FEB 1944 the war had turned for the US in the Pacific and the Japanese were solidly on defense.  Their main naval base was Truk Lagoon, the Gibraltar of the Pacific, and the target for the Americans.  Most of the wrecks are within recreational limits, covered with coral and fish, and filled with artifacts.

You can choose either 6 or 10 days (3 dives a day) of diving.  There are several flights to get to Chuuk.  The one I recommend is the Island Hopper by United but you choose how you arrive.  We will dive from Friday or Tuesday thru Sunday.  Monday is a day to off gas, tour, relax and then fly out on Tuesday.

We will be staying at the Blue Lagoon Resort.  There is a restaurant, souvenir shop, museum, kayaks, a small bar, large green area, and a beach along with other various amenities.  Diving will be done with Blue Lagoon Dive Shop.  They are very experienced and will guide the dives.  We will use day boats to go to the various wrecks around the lagoon.  We will do 2 dives, come back for lunch, then head out for a third dive.  During the surface interval we may tour, snorkel, or just rest on one of the islands. 

Approx prices are 6 days of diving 8 nights is $1,700 or 10 days of diving 12 nights is $2,400. Once I have a better handle on the numbers I can get a firm price.  If you want to dive 2 dives a day or are a non-diver, the price will be less and they can accommodate that.  Included in the price is 3 dives a day, airport transfers, and a double occupancy room Thursday or Monday thru Monday.  Not Included in price are departure fee ($20), dive permit ($50), plane ticket, food.

his is an amazing opportunity to dive what has been called the World’s Best Wreck Diving.  The price will never be better.  We have worked hard to put together the best trip yet to the South Pacific.  You will not be disappointed.  The number of things to see and experience cannot be compared to in any other location.  The water temperature is about 84 deg F and visibility is at least 75’.  On many dives you will be able to do your safety stop looking at corals, fish, or a shipwreck.  On my You Tube page (Hanz Lehrke) are many videos showing the amazing diving in Chuuk.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Text/phone 651-208-9277 hanzlehrke@aol.com
