Comments This was a really cool trip that my wife and I enjoyed very much. You are diving into and among WWII history. The boat did excellent dive briefings with lots of history thrown in.

Not a place to go if you are a beginner diver because wrecks can get deep and penetration points into the wrecks are numerous. Proper finning technique is of the utmost importance inside the wrecks.

Half the passengers were technical divers but there are lots of opportunities for recreational diving as well. My tip would be to follow a guide on these dives. They know the best areas to go since some of the ships are pretty large. Very competent locals!

We stopped in Guam for a few days to time adjust and even did a dive on Guam.

Overall great trip if you enjoy history and wreck diving.
