To see them now with marine life coating them in beauty and color we are priveliged to witness their splendor and not their wrath. The reason all these ships are in this one Lagoon area is this was our response to the Japanese attack in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 ....we called it Operation Hailstone and it commenced February 17 & 18 1944 sinking more than 40 ships and 250 warplanes of the Japanese fleet. https://www.bluelagoondiveresort.com/truk-lagoon-history.html In Palau enjoy tons of pelagic fish on sites like Chandelier Cave, Virgin Hole, German Channel, Blue Corner and Jellyfish Lake. http://www.samstours.com/palau-diving/diving-with-sams-tours Truk & Palau (Jan 2022): 7 nights at the Blue Lagoon Resort, standard room (16-23JAN) 6 days of 3 tank boat diving (17-22JAN) Tax and airport transfers included 1 night in Guam at the Days Inn, standard room (23-24JAN) Tax and airport shuttle included 8 nights at the Palau Central Hotel, standard rock island view  (24JAN-01FEB) Breakfast daily at the Palau Central Hotel (25-31JAN) 6 days of 2 tank boat diving including lunch with Sam’s Dive Tours (25-30JAN) 5 x 3^rd tank boat dives & 1 Jellyfish Lake snorkel (may be replaced by a wreck dive) after dive day (25-29JAN) Unlimited diving at Sam’s Macro Wall Nitrox up to 32% for certified nitrox divers Tax and airport transfers included   1 night in Honolulu at the Best Western, standard room (31JAN-01FEB) Tax and free airport shuttle included   Flights Approximate cost: $2,500-2800 per person (will not be available until February 2020) 3 nights hotel (2 in Honolulu and 1 in Guam) 7 night Truk package 8 night Palau package Cost:  4500.00 Not included: Flights, Truk dive permit ($50), Truk departure tax ($40 pp, paid at airport upon departure), Palau departure tax ($20 pp, paid at airport upon departure), Palau Green Fee ($30 pp, paid at airport upon departure), dive permits (Palau only $50, Palau with Jellyfish Lake: $100 pp, Peleliu: $30 pp), fuel surcharge for trips to Peleliu (if applicable), dive rental equipment, meals/beverages other than those mentioned, dive crew gratuities, dive insurance and travel insurance.

LIVEABOARD TRIP TO ST. KITTS, SABA & ST. & MAARTEN 3/5/22

Itineraries include 5 1/2 days of diving; 2 to 3 days within the Saba Marine Park, and 2 to 3 days at St. Kitts. 5 dives daily are normally offered, including night dives. The schedule also provides for up to 3 island tours during the week, there is ample time for our guests to explore forts, rainforests, duty-free shops and museums. We will need to schedule departing flights 3/5/22 from St Kitts and return flights from St Martin 3/12/22 Package includes: 7 nights/8 days aboard the vessel; up to 5 dives daily (weather permitting); 3 meals daily, except Friday’s evening meal; between-dive snacks; towels, linens, etc.; use of tanks, weights and weight belts; all air fills; alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. Dive with reef Sharks, Nurse Sharks, Octopus, Morey Eels, Turtles and all the great Macro and beautiful Caribbean reef fish. When we did this in 2015 the crew would have Hot Chocolate with Bailees and Kalua in it after every night dive.... ; ) The Northeastern Caribbean itinerary, combining diving and optional island access, has always been unique within the liveaboard diving industry. As a dedicated dive liveaboard, all diving is done directly off of the vessel, using the expansive dive deck covering the aft third of the main deck. Each diver has his or her own dive gear bin; a large camera table, as well as rinse tanks, wetsuit drying racks, charging stations are available for all to use. Nitrox is available ($150.00 for the week); tanks are filled in place between each dive, so that there is never any need to disassemble your gear. If you are interested in touring the islands, other guests' can continue diving. We can also arrange additional time ashore to hike the rainforest-covered mountains, horseback ride on the beach, or even play golf, check with the crew when you board. A variety of specialty course training is available aboard, if you are desiring to take a specific course with us, please let us know when making your reservation. Complete dive gear and computer rental are also available Saba, known for its submerged offshore pinnacles, is the 5 square mile top of a dormant volcano towering 3,000 feet above the surface and surrounded by volcanic sand. The abrupt topography above the sea is mirrored below, and the profusion of marine life attests to the early institution of the Saba Marine Park in 1987. St. Kitts offers arguably the widest variety of sites - finger reefs, recent wrecks, and a variety of dropoffs that will capture your imagination. A great trip isn't accomplished purely because of the destination or the marine life but also because of the divers you are there with....a fun loving, wild bunch of North East Divers ensures lots of laughs, great dive buddies and clever antics. Explorer Ventures combines the luxury of cruise travel with spectacular live- aboard diving. The ship's features include: a spacious dining area; comfortable lounge area with television, DVD, and audio center; shaded and sun decks.
