INDONESIA - Lembeh Straits & The Bunaken Islands
North Sulawesi is in the centre of the world's greatest underwater biodiversity. Diving in the Lembeh Straits is a mixture of 'muck diving' and corals with some of the strangest and rarest marine creatures to be found anywhere. The volcanic Bunaken Islands, rich in exotic marine life, offer divers dazzling coral walls and drop offs. Combined, these two destinations offer an uparallelled Indonesian experience.
SUDAN
Sudan, true Deep South of the Red Sea, is best dived between November and April when the Sea temperature is between 28 and 30 degrees and the large pelagics are most commonly seen schooling on the drop-offs.
Our Sudan Explorer safaris operate from the busy town of Port Sudan and include diving on the famous Umbria Wreck. Full Boat charters can arrange to travel further north or south on our extended itineraries.
PALAU
At the centre of the Micronesian Archipelago, halfway between Guam and the Philippines, lies the tiny island nation of Palau. Famous for its scenic beauty above and below the water, Palau is a diver's paradise offering a tremendous variety of dives from WWII wrecks to the sharks and soft corals of Blue Corner and Ngemelis Wall. Palau is a destination that combines well with Truk or Yap. If you are feeling adventurous you can combine it with both. Please ask us to put together an itinerary for you.
Our preferred liveaboard in palau is the Ocean Hunter II operated by Navot and Torva who have many years of experience living and diving in Palau. Ocean Hunter accommodates 12 guests in 6 air-conditioned cabins. The Liveaboard is best combined with a short stopover in one of the excellent resorts on Koror.

YAP
If you are planning to visit Palau it is a good idea to include the island of Yap in your itinerary. Yap State lies 360 miles north east of Palau and consists of 134 islands and atolls of which 22 are populated. Yap is famous for its large population of resident manta rays which can be seen at all times of the year. But there is much more to diving in Yap than just manta rays and Yap is a paradise for the underwater photographer or videographer
We work with two resorts in Yap, Traders Ridge and Manta Ray Bay both offering an excellent standard of accommodation and diving.
TRUK
Best linked with Palau, Truk Lagoon is a wrecker's paradise steeped in WWII history. Dive Truk staying at the Blue Lagoon Resort or the Truk Stop Hotel. We also offer the liveaboards Thorfinn and Odyssey - Please ask for an itinerary and quotation.
MARSHALL ISLANDS
The Marshall islands are a group of 33 islands scattered across the central western Pacific. The atolls cover some 750 square miles. Bikini Atoll is where the impressive USS Saratoga aircraft carrier, the battleship USS Arkansas and other escort ships were wrecked. Sunk deliberately by the Americans as part of their research on the effects of atomic weapons on a battle fleet. These experiments took place after the end of World war II and have left us with a fascinating and historical dive site. We are running an 8 night Truk Lagoon wreck dive special aboard the Thorfinn on 17-25 August 08. This is followed by two nights Majuro and 7 nights in Bikini Atoll from 27 August - 3 September 08.We reccomend travel from London via Honolulu and at least one night each way in Honolulu. It is not necessary to do this trip as a combination but if you are travelling that far, it makes for a fantastic option. Please contact reservations for a quotation.
ALDABRA ATOLL
Aldabra Atoll is the largest raised coral atoll on Earth. It is also one of the most remote. Declared a World Heritage Site in 1982, Aldabra is as unique as it is isolated and few people are lucky enough to have seen it with their own eyes. We are extremely pleased to offer our clients limited places on our exclusive charter to dive this extraordinary place. Please see the trip note for more details
