An Important Message to our Customers:
On April 25, 2008, Air Marshalls had its first commercial flight since October of 2007. Our first group of customers traveled to Bikini on May 7, 2008. Air Marshalls is now operating as a one aircraft airline. What this means for our customers is that if the plane should have mechanical difficulties, customers diving on Bikini would be confronted with a delay getting off of Bikini Atoll, and customers waiting on Majuro Atoll to travel to Bikini Atoll would also experience a delay getting there. Air Marshall Islands and Bikini Atoll Divers will not be responsible for hotel accommodations, meals, nor any other expenses incurred of any kind should delays occur.
It is highly recommended that our customers secure travel insurance that will cover mechanical-related delays before traveling to the Marshall Islands and to Bikini Atoll.

"There are not many places that could look more like the Garden of Eden..." - Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, in their July 2000 issue, declaring Bikini Atoll |
"When you dive Bikini, you are touching the face of history..."
- Skin Diver Magazine, in their October 2002 issue, declaring Bikini Atoll
one of the "24 Dives of a Lifetime."
- Bikini Atoll opened to divers in June of 1996 to provide an economic base for a possible future resettlement of Bikini Atoll. The Bikini Atoll Council, under the name of Bikini Atoll Divers, fulfilled their goal to open the one of the most professional--and safest--dive operations possible.
- Over the past few years a small number of people outside of the Marshall Islands have seen this form of commercialism on Bikini Atoll as something negative. It should be understood that the islanders themselves made the decision to open the atoll for tourism and are currently in control of the entire operation. When you go to Bikini you don't just go diving , fishing and sunbathing, you get a history lesson. Over the course of the week historical documentary films are shown, complete briefings about each of the ships and their respective histories are given, and you get a tour of the island and the atoll. The Bikinians feel this to be important because this allows their story to be taken away by tourists and retold to their families and friends. In short, the tourism program helps perpetuate a story the islanders never want to see go away, ever.
