This is a superb dive operation. It's a long way and a long time to get
there from the East Coast of US, but worth the travel. I came in 1996, and
brought my wife and 2 sons this time and we all had a great dive trip. The
diving is hard to describe since it is simply magnificent. The wrecks are
accesible to most divers and it is awesome in its grandeur. The dive staff
is superb, allowing one to dive his/her own profile, but available if
needed. The wrecks are slowly deteriorating, but the soft corals are a
dream for a photographer. The service by the crew is exceptional and the
accomodations and food are fine. I can think of no criticism for the dive
operation. They are professional, courteous and really try to make your
week of diving the best. The trip back to the Mainland is a bear, having to
fly out of Truk at 2:25 AM (that's right, 2:25 AM!). A stopover in Honolulu
makes it bearable. We flew Continental and have no complaints. This is a
trip for seasoned divers and well worth the effort and money to make it at
least once in your life. Our dive shop, Wateree Dive Center in Columbia, SC
will probably return again in a couple of years.
