Welcome to the magical islands of Palau, Truk Lagoon,
and Yap - better known as Micronesia


The lionfish is a common resident of Micronesia reefs & wrecks.

From the shipwrecks of Truk Lagoon to Palau's high voltage Blue Corner drop-off and the giant manta ray migrations at Yap, the vast Pacific region called Micronesia has a dive adventure for everyone.

Micronesia is a collection of island countries that includes: the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, the Marshall Islands, USA territoty of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

These jewels spread in an arc above New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. January through April are the driest months and the best for visibility, but diving is excellent year-round.

Most Micronesia islands can be dived from day boats operating from land-based resort hotels or independent dive centers.  However, Palau and Truk Lagoon can be dived by live-aboard vessels, generally operating 6 or 7-day trips.
