Dear Team Member,

I hope this message finds you healthy and well. With border restrictions around the world continuing to relax, we are finally seeing the light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel for the travel industry.

Throughout this time we have laughed, cried, banged our heads on our desks, cried some more, and stared longingly at our dive kit which has remained far too dry throughout. Now that we have mostly returned to normality with many new expeditions on the horizon, it is very clear that we are still here and able to continue to offer our unique trips because of you, our brilliant customers.

Whilst we know how frustrating it has been with trips being postponed, all of us here at Dirty Dozen Expeditions want to say a massive THANK YOU to you all for sticking with us and showing us your support over the last two years, and we cannot wait to repay that understanding and generosity with more excellent trips for the years to come.

Having said that - we found some free spots on sailings in the next 12 months that we wanted to share with you before the public. Let’s get to it!

2022 TRUK LAGOON SEASON IN SHORT SUPPLY

This week we have been glued to Jacque Cousteau’s Lagoon of Lost Ships as we celebrate Truk Lagoon’s plan to reopen borders in August this year. Check out the DDE Knowledge Base and watch Philippe Cousteau search out the wrecks in the lagoon using a sonar scanning system to discover the wrecks of Truk Lagoon as they had been left mid-fight, 25 years before during the war.

Check out this awesome film, and all our other resources in the DDE KB

Our end-of-year 2022 sailings are mostly full but we happen to have a few spots left on one of the more interesting trips of the year which we have not advertised a lot.

Fancy joining a photography-based trip? Award-winning cave photographer SJ Alice Bennett and partner Jon Kieren are running a trip for us from November 20-29 2022! If you are not a photographer, no problem, we need plenty of models for all those cover shots!

Email us now for more information!

GALAPAGOS 2023

We recently announced a shake-up to our Galapagos expeditions and now we are running annual CCR only trips to the Galapagos Islands in order to deliver the best possible experience. The minimum requirement to join is MOD 1.

Our December 2021 expedition was an incredible success and now we look forward to our next encounter in 2023.

We have A FEW SPOTS LEFT for our March 2023 itinerary. Inquire now to find out more about this one-of-a-kind experience.

PALAU 2023

Our 2022 Inaugural Expedition to Palau is FULL.

Not to worry! We have secured another exclusive WWII Wreck Expedition charter in Palau from 13-20 August 2023 with FULL CCR/OC TEC support. We are still working on some final details in regards to logistics and pricing but we could not wait to tell you and if everything goes well our special guest might be the person mentioned in the above picture!

This will be a very special trip and if you missed getting on our 2022 trip we highly recommend getting on this one.

Register your interest now and we will send you an offer as soon as we have all the details together.

That is us for this week. We hope you got some great plans coming up this weekend but don’t forget, if you are feeling lonely, then we are here to chat Dirty.

Best,

Aron Arngrímsson and the DDE Team
