Truk Master

After Typhoon Maysak in April 2015, and the events in the aftermath, the Truk Siren is no longer available. However, from mid 2016, Worldwide Dive and Sail will be back to the “Wreck Diving Capital of the World” with the Truk Master from Master Liveaboards.

The vessel will be launched in mid 2016 to offer a choice of 7-night or 10-night trips cruising Truk Lagoon, offering some of the best wreck diving in the world to both the recreational and technical diver. Guests are offered a choice of lower deck or main deck cabins – in a twin bed or double bed configuration.

Welcoming aboard 16 guests for 7 or 10 night dive safaris the 4 decks provide ample space for relaxation, dive equipment and camera preparation, whilst their experienced crew ensures you receive only the highest quality service on your diving vacation. Guests may choose between lower, middle and upper deck cabins, each of which are en-suite and have individual air conditioning units.

Truk is best known for its world-class wreck diving and with over 60 wrecks, from supply vessels (Maru) to planes and a submarine, tightly packed into a coral reef lagoon. It is easy to appreciate why divers travel to this area time and time again. During WWII, the Japanese fleet used Truk as one of their main staging points for attacks on the allied forces but in 1944 the American led “Operation Hailstone” surprised the fleet resulting in the plethora of dive sites which we can see there today.

Dive equipment is set up and stored on the rear of the middle deck. All guests are allocated an individual set up station, with under bench storage for masks, fins and other personal items. A central camera table can be used to store prepared equipment ahead of the dive, with dedicated rinse tanks provided. Divers can take advantage of the on deck shower hoses or use the starboard side deck head to rinse off between dives.
