area.  

Overall Rating

This was our fourth trip to Truk and second on Odyssey.  Unfortunately, we
encountered bad weather, arrived 2-1/2 days late (because of Typhoon Chaba)
and visibility was the worst we've ever experienced.  Wrecks still make
interesting diving and the collection of soft corals, anemones, tropical
fish and small critters is just amazing. Some of the wrecks are so large
that it may take two or more dives to completely see one wreck. Odyssey is
an outstanding boat; crew is knowledgeable and accommodating and they
pretty much leave experienced divers alone but happily provide information
and assistance when requested or they think it is necessary or would be
welcome.  Food is very good, plentiful and well-prepared.  Everything is
included in the per person cost(soft drinks, beer, wine, nitrox)which makes
the trip a good value and we didn't feel "nickled and dimed" for
every little thing.  Cabins are very comfortable and everything works. 
Boat could use more comfortable lounges on the deck and more attention to
laundering the blankets and bedspreads between guests, but these are minor
inconveniences compared to the overall experience of the trip. Odyssey
schedules a shark feed on the outer wall of the lagoon and while we don't
particularly like shark feeds and didn't think it was needed since there
seemed to be plenty of sharks without the feed, we did participate and got
some pretty good video footage. Captain Lenny and First Mate Cara do a
great job. All in all, an excellent trip.
