Palau Aggressor & Truk Odyssey
Trip Leader: Mark Duvall
The island nation of Palau is home to some of the world’s most incredible reefs. Nourished by swift currents, these waters boast everything from intricate macro life to graceful pelagics. Manta rays, Napoleon wrasse, blacktop sharks, turtles, and majestic eagle rays regularly cruise the famous Blue Corner delighting divers with their presence! The Rock Islands Aggressor is a top notch operation providing exceptional service and amenities to their guests. Explore the mushroom islands Palau is famous for and then enjoy the unsurpassed hospitality of the Palau Aggressor!
Chuuk Lagoon is on every wreck diving enthusiast’s “must do” list. The tragic events of Operation Hailstorm were a turning point in the Battle of the Pacific where 12 warships and 32 merchant ships were sank and 275 aircraft destroyed. The lack of strong ocean currents in the protected lagoon have preserved the wrecks and enable recreational divers to explore this impressive area. The Truk Odyssey is arguably one of the finest live aboard dive vessels in the world. Catering to both recreational and technical divers alike the Odyssey delivers excellent customer service, accommodation, cuisine, and dive leadership. All dives are conducted from the mother ship allowing for an easy, low maintenance schedule!
