Bikini Atoll diving future?

Looks like Master Liveaboards (currently the only operation going to Bikini) has cancelled all 2027 trips to the atoll and the Pacific Master will be staying in Truk for all of 2027. I wonder if this means the end (again) for Bikini diving or if some other charter op is looking at taking their place?

All I know is that Indies Trader Marine Adventures has lost interest in running trips, despite 9 seasons of successful operations. Due to the remote location and difficult logistics it is extremely challenging to execute great trips and make a profit doing it. Bikini Atoll local government is bankrupt so I don't see them investing in a shore-based operation either. It sucks, but those of us who dived at Bikini in her halcyon days can only be thankful for the privilege.
