About Marshall Islands

Scattered across the central Pacific, the Marshall Islands are low coral atolls with Majuro and Kwajalein as the main hubs. Lagoons fill with clear water for diving and sailing, and wartime wrecks around Bikini and Kwajalein draw experienced divers. The climate stays warm all year, moderated by trade winds; the drier months from December to April are the most comfortable for travel, while the wetter season brings heavier showers and higher humidity.
