In December 2001, Truk Stop Hotel added the Truk Lagoon Dive Center. This new PADI diving facility is only a 30 sec. walk from the hotel.

From the hotel a 50 yard long boardwalk and pier spans the inner lagoon passing over a small mangrove stand. Up to 4 boats at a time can come right up to the pier to pick up hotel guests for their day's diving.

The Truk Lagoon Diving Center is staffed by professional dive instructors and staff who provide instruction, and equipment repair as well as escorting dives.

Wreck, reef and shark feeding dives are offered up to 4 dives per day. The Truk Lagoon Dive Centre has a covered wash and rinse area. Divers soak and rinse their dive gear and underwater camera equipment in fresh water here. There is no need to carry wet suits and equipment back to the rooms as 6 walk-in style storage lockers are located here as well. Divers can store and dry their gear overnight.

The Truk Lagoon Dive Centre's new 0-metre custom dive boats offer daily dives, up to four dives per day. The Truk Lagoon Dive Centre has new tanks and a full range of rental dive equipment. The dive center provides nitrox and decompression gas mixing and offers scuba equipment repair. Boats carry the Dan O2 kits and First Aid kits.

PADI dive courses, such as the PADI Wreck Diving Speciality and PADI Nitrox Diving are available.

Do you need to book a liveaboard for diving in Truk Lagoon? Probably not. Most of the wreck dives are only a 20 min. ride or less from the Truk Stop Hotel pier.
