Bikini Atoll Liveaboards

Join a liveaboard expedition diving the wrecks of Bikini Atoll. This is the destination for wreck and technical divers with US & Japanese aircraft carriers and destroyers referred to as the Ghost Fleet.

Shipwreck diver in Bikini Atoll

Bikini Lagoon is the first UNESCO World Heritage Site for the Marshall Islands archipelago and is undisputedly ranked first on any serious wreck diver's bucket-list.

After the end of WWII, the Americans amassed a fleet of ships comprising both Japanese and American vessels. Two nuclear bombs were then unleashed, one from the air and one from underwater, unleashing untold devastation. More than 75 years on, the area is now considered safe enough to dive, with liveaboard expeditions offers to suitably qualified technical divers to explore the legendary Ghost Fleet.

There are 21 shipwrecks to discover on this once in a lifetime adventure, famously known as the Ghost Fleet. Wreck highlights here include USS Saratoga, a huge aircraft carrier and the shallowest of the Bikini wrecks which allows for multiple penetration dives, HIJMS Nagato - a feared Japanese battleship, USS Arkansas, USS Anderson and the USS Lamson. Choose from 10, 11 or 13 night itineraries and explore this shipwreck graveyard.

Planning your Holiday

Flight info

For Bikini Atoll, you will need to first fly from the UK into Honolulu and overnight here. The following day, you continue to the Marshall Islands, crossing the International Date Line before landing in Kwajalein Airport. Flights typically take up to two days.

All passengers travelling via Honolulu need to complete an ESTA. This must be done online in advance of UK departure. The Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) allows most British Citizen passport holders to visit the US for up to 90 days. The types of journey allowed under the VWP include tourism, certain types of business visit and transit to another country.

Airport tax

Visitors are required to pay a departure tax when leaving the country by air. Please make sure you have cash available, as credit cards are not accepted and ATM machines are not available at the airports.

Visas

Entry requirements vary from country to country, and it’s important to check the latest visa information well before you travel. Some destinations may allow visa-free entry for a limited period, while others require an eVisa or a visa obtained in advance. To ensure you have the correct documentation for your trip, we recommend checking the official advice from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) or contacting the relevant country’s embassy or consulate. Other nationalities should check with their own consulate/embassy.

Passports

Before you travel, make sure your passport is valid for the full duration of your trip and meets the entry requirements of your destination. Many countries require at least six months’ validity beyond your planned return date, while others may have different rules. For the most reliable and up-to-date information, visit the UK Government’s passport guidance or the official travel advice pages for your destination. Other nationalities should check with their own consulate/embassy.

If you’re planning to travel to or via an EU country (with certain exceptions) your UK passport must meet two key requirements, it must be less than 10 years old on the day you enter the country and it must be valid for at least three months after your planned departure date.

Vaccinations & Health Advice

Health and vaccination requirements differ depending on where you're travelling. Some destinations may require proof of specific vaccinations or recommend certain precautions to protect your wellbeing.

We’re not qualified to provide you with specific advice on vaccinations and strongly recommend that you contact your healthcare professional before you travel to discuss the inoculations you may need to consider.
