Dear Dirty Dozen Team Member,

Just over 24 hours ago, the United Kingdom updated their travel advisory, so if you are fully vaccinated there are only seven countries on the red list! This news reveals an array full of future travel plans along with the USA opening borders with Europe, and I get the feeling that many of our team members are excited.

On top of that, as one of the leading exploration operators for some of the most advanced diving destinations on the planet - we are the first operator in the world that gets to pick the best dates of the year as a new season opens on our exploration vessels, and yesterday we picked our 2025 dates.

We also picked new calendar graphics taken by our late team member Martin Cridge that look stunning!

Let’s dive right into it.

BIKINI ATOLL

Bikini Atoll is one of the most remote diving destinations in the world, sitting quietly just north of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. Although it is almost completely lacking in infrastructure, we have devised the best way for you to explore this world-class wreck site on our exploration liveaboard.

Check out our updated expedition calendar below that runs until the end of 2025. We can offer small deposits, flexible payment terms, and friendly booking conditions on all our trips to get your down and dirty with some of the most infamous wrecks on the planet.

Email us HERE for more information.

TRUK LAGOON

Not quite as off the beaten track as Bikini Atoll, is Truk Lagoon. A diver’s paradise with 70% of its 50+ wrecks within recreational diving limits that are strewn across the seabed - super accessible to recreational and CCR divers alike for very extended and fun runtimes.

Our exploration diving itineraries mix the best of the entire lagoon in a technical diving mindset, OC and CCR. Our new calendar with 2025 dates is below for you to examine.

GALAPAGOS

I don’t think I need to introduce this wonderland, its reputation almost certainly precedes it.  Diving in the Galapagos is rewarding but occasionally demanding, even for very experienced divers. To make sure you enjoy your trip, it’s good if you have some experience with strong currents.

Join us on our very exclusive and rare CCR ONLY itineraries. We actually have TWO OPENINGS just come up for our trip in December THIS YEAR. The trip has been sold out for ages so first come, first served.

CHERNOBYL

Last but not least. Less remote and a bit closer to home but no less wild, we are in our 3rd season of Chernobyl exploration.  

Our guides (explorers, scientists, and previous Pripyat residents) will lead us down a route not often explored and with the least exposure while seeing the highlights and having in-depth access to Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant - Including Control Room 4!

Since this destination is year-round and geographically is relatively easy to reach, we can cater to custom dates! Email us HERE for more information.

This sums it up for this week. I hope our optimism rubs off on all our dear team and please don’t forget, if you ever feel lonely, we are here to chat Dirty.

Best,

Aron Arngrímsson and the DDE Team
