Where We're Diving

Chuuk Lagoon, previously Truk Atoll, is an atoll in the central Pacific. It lies about 1,000 miles northeast of New Guinea, and is part of Chuuk State within the Federated States of Micronesia. A protective reef, 140 Miles around, encloses a natural harbor 50 by 30 miles, with an area of 1,320 miles².

Dive with Lynnhaven Dive Center on Odyssey Adventures to see the ghost fleet of Truk Lagoon, the world’s best shipwreck destination. That’s only the beginning of your adventure. You’ll see an abundance of incredible tropical fish, anemones, gorgonians, and eagle rays. You’ll have the option to dive at your leisure, or borrow one of Odyssey’s experienced local dive guides who will show you all those places you wouldn’t find on your own. On a normal itinerary all sites can be dived within the recreational dive limits. Please refer to Odyssey’s “Commonly Visited Wreck and Reef Sites” for depth ranges.

Diving in Truk Lagoon is an adventure you will never forget. WWII wrecks are scattered across 77 square miles. The wrecks are covered with life. There are over 300 varieties of hard and soft corals. On the outer reef you’ll find mountains of coral that stretch as far as the eye can see, and drops off into the abyss. Here it is not unusual to see pelagic sharks.

The water temperature ranges from 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Visibility ranges from 30′ to 100′ depending on where you are in the lagoon and there is little current.

We recommend DAN insurance or equivalent. DAN Travel insurance is preferred but not required.

The day aboard Odyssey begins after a 7:00 a.m. hot breakfast with your first dive briefing around 7:45. You will be able to do two dives before lunch. During lunch we usually move to a new site. After lunch you have the option to either do another dive, or relax on the either of the sundecks or in the privacy of your own stateroom. A late afternoon dive is also offered. Around 6:30 p.m. a sumptuous dinner will be waiting for you. After dinner you may choose to do a night dive. At night guests usually gather in the entertainment lounge to enjoy a movie, or review what was captured that day in video.

Since most of the dive sites in Truk Lagoon are fairly close to each other, it is easy for us to move around. The best part about diving aboard Odyssey is that we don’t require everyone to dive at the same time. So it is not unusual for you and your buddy to be the only divers on a 500′ wreck.

Financing Available. 0% Interest for 6 months.
