Itineraries 
Liveaboard is one of the few boats that offer the opportunity to dive in the Japanese wrecks in Truk. A large part of the Japanese fleet was based here during WWII. Battleships, aircraft carriers, tugboats, gunboats, minesweepers, and submarines were destroyed in 1941 by air attacks. In 1969, Jacques Cousteau and his team explored this place, and since then it has become an attractive diving destination. The boat offers 7-night and 10-night trips to Truk Lagoon, which include visiting numerous sunken ships. The boat has equipment for technical diving, for those who want to explore every part of its wrecks at a depth of 30-50 m/98-164 ft. Here divers can see cargo ships that still hold torpedos and periscopes, and tanks that rest on the decks. The Rio de Janeiro Maru was once a luxury passenger boat and now lies on the bottom of the sea. This is one of the boats that guests on the Truk Master can explore. Divers can also visit the Shark Island reef, a cleaning station for sharks.
A unique diving destination can be explored on board of Truk Master - Bikini Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nowhere else can you dive such a fantastic collection of wrecks, including the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga.
