The Republic of the Marshall Islands consist of 29 atolls
and 5 islands within 700,000 square miles of ocean. Although the Marshall Islands covers such a vast area, the
total land area is a mere 70 square miles. Majuro, the economic center of the islands, has a total land area of
3.75 square miles made up of 64 islands and a lagoon area of 114 square miles.
With more than a million square miles of ocean, 800 plus reef systems, and innumerable species of marine and coral
life, the Marshall Islands are certainly paradise for scuba divers and snorklers. There is 81 degree water temperature
year round and 100-plus foot visibility so diving here is about as great as it gets.
The big attractions of the Marshalls is the many World War Two plane and ship wrecks throughout
the island nation. Well known Bikini Atoll, as well as Jaluit, Kawajalein, Mili and Wotje are places where you'll
find dozens of famous wrecks only recently opened to visiting divers. The vast majority of the island chain is
just waiting to be discovered by divers that are looking to escape the crowds and to visit new waters. Dive operators
are located on Majuro and Bikini atolls.
In addition to the wrecks, the reefs, untouched for the last 20 years, are an adventure into new discovery. Lush
coral gardens bursting in rainbow hues populate the miles of reefs. Fishes of the Pacific
are the most colorful in the world.
