What are the diving conditions in Truk, and is a wet suit advisable there?
Sheltered waters of Truk Lagoon provide one of the worlds most comfortable dive locations. Closest to bath tub conditions, lagoon temperatures remain a constant 84 – 85 deg F ( 29 C ) without thermoclines or currents at most any depth. Underwater light conditions are normally good with a white sand floor reflecting sunlight, assuring positive light conditions at most depths for photography and viewing. Visibility ranges from 40 – 100 ft ( 18 – 34m ) depending on local conditions and position. Light skin suits are recommended for coral or wreck protection and light thermal gear is often employed after a few dives due a gradual body cooling doing five daily dives. Experienced local guides per 4 6 person dive groups assure added safety and professional assistance to best enjoy each site.
