Comments A business trip to Guam got we six-days in Truk (Chuuk) whatever. I tried, but was unable to hook up with the Thorfinn for a mid-week boarding, as they were crusiing the islands. Upon arrival I spend my six-days following THorfinn arouind the lagoon! Accomodations at The Blue Lagoon rooms were clean and comfortable. I was blessed with low occupancy in June, resulting in a second floor room with and ocean view, twin beds, a mini-fridge and a large bath.
The Blue Lagoon operation was excellent and affordable. Our dive guide, Chiney(PH) had been diving the wrecks for 30 years. Always flexible wanting to meet our wants and desires we dove when and where we wanted, with very personal attention, both above and below water. The boats are another leave room for improvement; converted fishing boats with little storage, no head, and minimual room with six people onboard. As noted earlier, we spent the week shodowing the live-aboards. Aside were the pampering and the ability to do five dives a day, Blue Lagoon was hard to beat and a hell've lot cheaper. We usually dove three tanks a day, with the exceptional day with four. Given the depths of some wrecks, three was more in line with the profiles our computers we liked. The food at the one an donly restaurant was good, but not gourmet. Service was with a smile, if somewhat slow. We all questuionsed what it would be like in February, during the anniversay of "Hailstorm" when were told a room is hard to come by. Hope to return next year..let's that 80,000 frequent flyer miles, or.....
