Join us July 31–August 13, 2029, for a 13-night liveaboard expedition aboard Pacific Master to Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands—one of the world’s most extraordinary wreck diving destinations.

Bikini’s legendary nuclear ghost fleet offers an opportunity to explore historic warships on an immense scale, including the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga. Remote Pacific surroundings and remarkable underwater history make this a trip for technical divers with a passion for serious wreck exploration.

Bikini Atoll, in the remote Republic of the Marshall Islands in Micronesia, is probably the most famous place in the world for wreck diving. Not long after the Second World War, the US gathered a mock fleet of naval vessels in order to test the different effects of atomic bombs on warships. 67 nuclear bombs were tested between 1946 and 1958, most notably during ''Operation Crossroads''. 

This is an advanced trip for experienced, certified technical divers only. Participants should have recent experience with deep diving, planned decompression, and managing their technical equipment with confidence. Appropriate certifications and experience for the planned dive profiles are essential, and eligibility will be confirmed against the operator’s requirements before booking.
