Truk's best land-based diving option

Truk Stop Hotel Divers can now discover some of the world's best wrecks by staying at the well-established and family-run Truk Stop Hotel whilst diving with Truk Lagoon's newest and most professional dive centre.
Set against the picture-perfect backdrop of the majestic Truk Lagoon, the Truk Stop Hotel is ideally located near the centre of Weno, within easy walking distance of major stores, markets and all main activities on Weno Island.
The Truk Lagoon Dive Centre is located on the grounds of the Truk Stop Hotel operating from their own private jetty adjacent to the dive shop. This is rated by many international divers as one of the best value land-based diving options around.

Dive Sites

Wreck Dive Truk LagoonChuuk Lagoon has attracted divers from virtually every corner of the world. Marine archaeologists have located 41 World War II shipwrecks, referred to recently as The Ghost Fleet, athough as many as 65 ships may be quietly resting at the bottom of the lagoon. A majority of the wrecks are located on the windward side of Tonoas Island, and between Tonoas and Fefan islands. Another concentration of wrecks can be found near Uman Island. The dive centre generally visits around 20 of the most popular dive sites plus other interesting sites upon request or when conditions are right. Most dive sites are located within a 25 minute boat ride from the dive shop.
