The Marshall Islands encompass an area
covering 750,000 square miles of crystal clear
Pacific ocean. The 1225, flat coral islands,
spread over 29 atolls, lie in two parallel
chains. All islands have white, sandy beaches,
tall palm trees and turquoise lagoons. The
history of the Marshallese is steeped in
culture. As an island nation, navigation
skills were prized and passed down through the
centuries.
First settled about 1000 BC by
Mayo/Polynesian, the islands have been visited
by Spanish navigators, German traders and
British and American whalers. The islands were
governed by Japan from WWI to the end of WWII, finally gaining independence in 1979.
Majuro, the capital, has a population of
nearly 30,000 and is a thriving commercial
centre with a mix of island tradition and
modern culture.
Supermarkets and roadside
family stores provide a wide variety of
products and services. Pristine coral reefs
teeming with life are a way of life for the
Marshallese people. With year round warm water
temperatures scuba diving, boating, canoeing
and fishing are highly popular activities
throughout the islands.

| Scuba Diving in the Marshall Islands |
Majuro offers world class diving. There are
over 1000 species of fish to be found here
with 250 plus species of soft and hard corals
along with spectacular visibility. With the
coral pinnacles, breathtaking drop offs and
the channels teaming with large pelagics, it
is no wonder that the Marshall Islands is one of our
favourite places to dive.
Marshalls Dive Adventures will take you to
drop-offs, virgin reefs, wrecks and big fish
action. Arno, a short boat ride from Majuro is
'Congo country', and offers first class diving
with an amazing reef and pelagics.
