30 m · 20 guests · 12 cabins · 12 crew members
Pacific Master is a 30-metre steel vessel purpose-built for diving. Twelve cabins across three decks take up to 20 guests, with a crew of 12: captain, deck crew, dive team and chefs. Launched in 2004, she spent years working the Solomon Islands as M/V Taka — the name is still painted on her bow. Today she operates in Micronesia under the Master Liveaboards brand.
She runs two programmes, and both are about sunken ships. Truk Lagoon (also called Chuuk) is the largest ship graveyard in the world: the Japanese fleet sunk here in 1944 lies between 10 and 60 metres. Most of the hulls are within reach of recreational divers — engine telegraphs, helms and anti-aircraft guns are still in place, and the holds hold aircraft wings, tanks, motorcycles and crates of ammunition. All of it is encrusted in soft coral, with reef and whitetip sharks, mantas and turtles moving around the wrecks. The second route is Bikini Atoll, the “nuclear ghost fleet”: battleships, destroyers, submarines and the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga, sunk during atomic bomb tests. Depths there are greater and the trips are built for technical divers.
The dive deck is spacious, with individual stations and room for every kit, a dedicated camera table, rinse tanks and hoses, plus toilets and freshwater showers right on deck. Three compressors, a nitrox membrane, rebreather support, trimix and a decompression bar mean the boat suits both recreational and technical divers. Two tenders run to the dive sites; entries are from a wide platform with ladders.
The main deck holds a large air-conditioned saloon with sofas, a bar and a dining area, plus a TV and a library. Hammocks are strung on the bow and the upper deck has a sun deck with loungers. The cabins split into two groups: six on the upper deck with en-suite bathrooms, and six on the lower deck — singles and twins sharing bathrooms located on the dive deck. Every cabin has air conditioning, bathrobes and extra towels.
Trips are long — 7 to 13 nights — and for good reason: Truk Lagoon, and Bikini even more so, is a long flight away, and the schedules are built to cover every key wreck without rushing.

Schedule & Pricing
Truk Lagoon: Weno — Weno, 7–10 nights
The vessel's core programme. Trips start and finish on Weno Island, the administrative centre of Chuuk State, reached by flights from Guam. Truk Lagoon holds the largest collection of shipwrecks in the world: the Japanese fleet sunk here in February 1944. More than fifty hulls lie inside the barrier reef between 10 and 60 metres, which makes the programme work for recreational and technical divers alike. The headline wrecks are Fujikawa Maru with aircraft in her hold, Shinkoku Maru with her engine room and soft corals, Nippo Maru with a tank on deck, and the deep San Francisco Maru. Beyond the steel there are coral pinnacles, deep reef channels, reef and whitetip sharks, mantas and turtles. Trips run 7 to 10 nights; 10 nights is the most common length.

An expedition to the most remote dive site in the Pacific. Trips start and finish at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, with a full day's crossing to Bikini itself. On the lagoon floor lies the nuclear ghost fleet: ships sunk during the atomic bomb tests of 1946. The headline wreck is the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga, her deck at 18 metres and the hangar with its aircraft deeper still. Nearby sit the battleship Nagato, flagship of the Japanese fleet, along with destroyers and submarines. Depths are serious and decompression is mandatory — the boat carries a decompression bar, nitrox and trimix. These trips are built for experienced and technical divers and guest numbers are limited. Marine life includes tiger and grey reef sharks, tuna, turtles and giant clams.
