Within the hotel grounds, adjacent to the hotel is the Hard Wreck Cafe and Bar, ManGroove Bar and Truk Lagoon Dive Center.
The dive centre has three covered boats; two 30ft skiffs with twin Yamaha 90s, the third is 19ft with twin 60s. The boats are kept at the private dock adjacent to the dive centre and are equipped with fresh drinking water, GPS, emergency oxygen, first aid kits, hangbars and drop bottles. Boat rides average 25 minutes, with the furthest wreck no more than 35 minutes away.
With three boats the dive centre can accommodate a maximum of 16 technical or 20 recreational divers. They can easily cope with mixed ability groups as each boat works to a tailor made itinerary to give everyone the type of diving they wish.
The waterside ManGroove Bar and terrace together with the Hard Wreck Cafe makes this the perfect place for dive groups.
