MARK POWELL RETURNS TO TRUK 🇫🇲
Dear Dirty Dozen Team Member,
We have a special return to announce. Mark Powell is coming back to Truk Lagoon to lead two Dirty Dozen expeditions aboard Odyssey in October 2028.
Aron and Mark during the first Dirty Dozen Expedition in Truk Lagoon.
Ten years after joining our very first Dirty Dozen trip, Mark is returning to where it all began. Stunning wrecks, new adventures, and another chance to get down and dirty with #teamdd.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Truk is a place that rewards patience and taking your time. Huge cargo holds, fascinating engine rooms, and the historic stories behind these wrecks give you so much to explore.
These expeditions are built around two long technical dives a day (OC or CCR), ensuring divers have all the time they need to discover this world-class destination.
As Expedition Leader, Mark will ensure the trip runs smoothly, ensuring divers get the most from their time underwater. In the evenings, the conversation continues with presentations on decompression theory, recent research, and other diving destinations.
Hear it from Mark himself:
