SCUBA DIVING is one of the Marshalls' premier attractions. With excellent underwater visibility, year-round warm weather, 250 species of hard and soft coral and over 1,000 species of fish, it's no wonder the Marshalls are gaining popularity as a great SCUBA diving destination.
Divers can enjoy steep drop-offs, coral pinnacles, channels, and reef points. Certain dive spots are abundant with fast moving pelagic schools, while others boast rich varieties of hard or soft coral.
In addition to marine life, there are a number of historically significant diving wrecks in our lagoons. The USS Saratoga, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier deployed in WWII, is the largest diveable wreck and the only diveable aircraft carrier in the world. Larger than the Titanic, the USS Saratoga sits on the bottom of Bikini Atoll lagoon. Also on Bikini, you'll find the Battleship HIJMS Nagato, the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which led the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Other lagoons, such as Jaluit, Mili, Wotje and Maloelap, have many WWII wrecks yet to be discovered! Personalized itineraries to the outer atolls are available to those seeking the truly unexplored. And, most recently, the Marshall Islands' first live-aboard dive boat now offers luxurious excursions.

SPORTS FISHING: With its 29 coral atolls spread over 750,000 square miles of tropical Pacific Ocean, the Marshall Islands is literally one of the "fishiest" countries on earth! These islands offer an incredible array of fishing opportunities within the lagoons, on the reef flats, and in the open ocean. Anglers can enjoy flyfishing, jigging and bottom fishing, trolling, casting/whipping, and more. All 29 atolls in the Marshalls offer excellent fishing. From the capital, Majuro Atoll, anglers can easily venture to neighboring Arno atoll by boat or to other atolls via Air Marshall Islands, the domestic carrier. Wind and sea conditions are most favorable May through October.
