The steel-hulled Truk Master liveaboard offers a choice of Classic, Premium and Superior double or twin cabins, providing comfortable accommodation for up to 16 guests*. Each cabin benefits from individually controlled air-conditioning and private ensuite bathroom facilities with hot water.
Truk Master’s main deck comprises a spacious, indoor dining room along with a camera station, complete with numerous charging points and storage space. After a fantastic day’s diving, unwind and relax on the upper deck’s indoor lounge and bar area which is fitted with a plasma screen for guests to watch movies or show off their photos. For those who prefer to relax with a breath of sea air, there is a shaded outdoor relaxation area and large sundeck with lounge chairs to sink into and soak up the atmosphere.
Truk Master is fully equipped to cater for recreational, technical, and rebreather divers.** The large dive deck has individual set up stations, under-bench storage, a camera preparation table and a large dive platform at the rear, complete with deco-bar.
*On Bikini Atoll itineraries Truk Master is limited to a maximum of 12 passengers due to space limitations for equipment storage. Spaces will only be available in Classic and Premium cabins No.s 2-7 located on the lower and main decks.
**On Bikini Atoll itineraries the vessel is exclusively for technical divers only.
