Diving trip Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands

Diving Trip Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands Diving Safari in Micronesia

This is a very special and amazing liveaboard diving trip that is only aimed at you who have dived a lot and have training for more technical and deeper diving. Diving trips to the Bikini Atoll have only recently started to take place and you should be very familiar with and appreciate being on a liveaboard. You will dive on wrecks located at great depths that few have and will be able to experience. The nuclear fleet as it is often called offers fantastic diving in an environment that has been untouched for many years. You can read more about the wrecks in the PDF below.

When you arrive in the Marshall Islands, you land in Kwajalein Atoll. Since Kwajalein is a US Army area, it is a restricted area and visitors are not allowed outside of the airport area. Upon arrival, you and the other travelers will come to an area where you will be held while your luggage is searched, by both staff and dogs. You will remain here until the bus comes to pick you up for the ferry to Ebeye Island. The ferry is run by the US Army. On arrival at Ebeye, a representative from your liveaboard will meet you and other guests for transfer to your liveaboard. 

Mandatory minimum certification and experience requirements

As the average depth of the wrecks in Bikini Atoll is around 50 meters, this trip is only suitable for technical divers with previous experience in wreck diving and deeper dives.

• Open Circuit Divers* must be certified as at least PADI Tec. 50 or equivalent, with at least 100 logged dives and documented wreck diving experience.
• Rebreather divers must have normoxic trimix certification (TDI Mixed Gas CCR Diver, or equivalent), with 100 logged dives and documented wreck diving experience.

*PLEASE NOTE: The boat does not provide Trimix for O/C during the Bikini Atoll voyage. Guests who do not meet the minimum certification and experience requirements will not be permitted to dive. No diving courses can be offered during the trip to Bikini Atoll.

• All guests must have dive specific insurance that covers technical diving, emergency evacuation, medical care and recompression chamber costs.

Details of the itinerary

Your Captain and Dive Leader will plan a maximum of 2 dives per day, with a minimum surface interval of at least 4 hours between your dives. Number of planned dives during your dive trip and liveaboard:
● 10 nights: up to 13 dives
● 11 nights: up to 15 dives
● 13 nights: up to 19 dives

Although the boat will try to ensure that the number of dives listed above is met, bad weather and conditions on and in the sea may hinder the boat's time to and from Bikini Atoll. Therefore, it can affect some of the captain's and dive leader's planning of the trip and the number of dives that can be completed.

NB: It is mandatory for guests to take an afternoon off from diving in the middle of the trip. We will offer an optional visit to Bikini Island and a beach barbecue on this day.

NB: Marine and port charges are subject to change without notice. The applicable amount at the time of departure will be added to your onboard incidentals payable before disembarking.

We respectfully ask that all divers stay within the scope of their training and experience and dive carefully. We also strongly recommend insurance that provides coverage for missed dives and additional costs that may arise as a result of a situation that may result in the vessel being forced to return to Kwajalein prematurely.
