Up to five dives a day are offered to a variety wrecks and coral reefs, where there is plenty of marine life including sharks and eagle rays.

Double tanks (DIN and YOKE systems) are available for technical divers and a local surcharge applies for oxygen mixtures above the standard free Nitrox.
At the start and finish of the trip stay at The Blue Lagoon Dive Resort, situated on a palm fringed point of Moen Island with breath taking views and great facilities. The family run dive centre here offers daily boat dives to Truk Lagoon.
