The two great Micronesian dive destinations in one trip. Truk Lagoon for the world's best WWII wreck diving, then Palau for Blue Corner and Jellyfish Lake. Remote, expensive, unforgettable.

The route

01
7 days
Truk Lagoon (Chuuk)
66.3
Federated States of Micronesia · Micronesia
Dive 8+ major wrecks from the Blue Lagoon Resort or a liveaboard. Wreck specialty training strongly recommended.
02
7 days
Palau
81.1
Palau · Micronesia
Fly Chuuk → Guam → Koror. Blue Corner, German Channel, Ulong — the sharks and mantas are the counterweight to Truk's quiet wrecks.

Logistics

→Micronesia flights are Guam-hub only. Book United Island Hopper tickets months ahead.
→Both islands require Wreck specialty (Truk) and reef hook skills (Palau).
→Peak dry season is Nov–April for both.

Honest verdict

“This is a bucket-list trip, not a routine dive holiday. Budget 3 weeks if you can — 2 weeks is doable but travel days eat your dive days fast.”
