Day 1
Your adventure begins onboard the Odyssey liveaboard, where you’ll be introduced to the boat and your cabin. After a detailed orientation and time to settle in, Odyssey remains docked overnight and prepares for an early morning departure to Truk Lagoon's legendary dive sites.
Days 2–7
Over the next 6 days, you’ll experience up to 5 dives per day across some of the most iconic wreck sites in Truk Lagoon, one of the world’s top destinations for wreck diving. The lagoon is home to more than 60 sunken warships, aircraft, and submarines, remnants of Operation Hailstone in 1944. These sites include large supply vessels, Japanese fighter planes, and even tanks and artillery, all remarkably preserved beneath the surface.
Each wreck tells its own story, often surrounded by vibrant coral growth, sea fans, and marine life that have turned these wartime relics into living reefs. Divers will encounter fighter plane wings, engine rooms, cargo holds filled with gas masks and ammunition, and other historically significant artifacts. The lagoon's coral reef structure adds another layer of diversity, with channels and pinnacles where reef sharks, barracuda, and other pelagics frequently pass through.
Dives are self-paced, allowing you to fully explore at your comfort level. While most guests follow a relaxed dive schedule beginning with a deeper dive in the morning, you can choose how many dives you do each day. The final dive of the trip is typically scheduled after lunch on Day 7 before the liveaboard returns to port in the evening.
Day 8
After a final breakfast onboard, it’s time to say goodbye to the Odyssey. You’ll disembark, carrying with you unforgettable memories of diving one of the most historical underwater graveyards in the world.
