Dear Team Member,
I hope this message finds you healthy and well. As the world opens up rapidly, we thought we would share very positive news coming out of one of our expedition locations.
FSM COMMITS TO REOPENING IN AUGUST 2022
With 74.9% of the Nation’s total eligible population having received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, the President of FSM made the following statement this morning:
“It remains the intention of the FSM National Government to fully open the Nation’s borders sometime in August 2022.”
This is big news and makes us thrilled about a busy season in Truk Lagoon at the end of this year. If you want to join us, inquire now to see what availability we have.
MARSHALL ISLANDS UPDATE
There are no new significant updates regarding the Marshall Islands and one of our favorite wreck destinations in the world, Bikini Atoll, at the time of writing. Should there be postponement’s in this year’s season - our guests will be notified 8 weeks before departure.
However, with Palau and Solomon Islands re-opening abruptly and FSM quickly following suit with plans of re-opening, it’s only a matter of time before a public statement will be posted from the Marshall Islands.
You will be the first to know the second we know more.
