How much?! You won’t want to miss this Truk Lagoon deal from The Scuba Place
Truk Lagoon is the undisputed number one destination when it comes to wreck diving, and the safari vessel Odyssey lives up to that claim too!
Truk, and the whole of Micronesia, have been closed since the very beginning of the COVID Pandemic, and opened their borders shortly before Christmas last year. Availability on Odyssey is almost non-existent until early 2025 now, as they have filled their boat with postponed divers.
However, leading dive tour operator The Scuba Place have, due to unforeseen circumstances, two spaces on their trip departing London on the 5th April.
Ordinarily, this trip is retailed at upwards of £5600 per person – these two spaces, in a shared twin or double cabin, with all flights from London (or other domestic airport) to Truk and back, with hotel accommodation en-route and prior to boarding Odyssey, are available for the bargain price of £4100.00 each – that’s saving a minimum of £1500 per person! And, this trip is ATOL Protected too!
Nitrox is included, as are upgrades to 15l tanks, twins or sidemount. Stage bottles, O2, blended gases and CCR consumables are all available.
And if you haven’t been before, please don’t be misguided with the belief that Truk Lagoon is all about deep, dark and squeezy spaces – it categorically isn’t! Deep and dark, squeezy engine rooms et al ARE available for those that want them, but the vast majority (99%) of the dives are shallower than 40m and very do-able for an experienced recreational diver.
SO, to grab these spaces, call or email The Scuba Place NOW!
