Comments	Chuuk (Truk) is full of wrecks from WWII. Most are ships, some planes, and a submarine. We dove within recreational limits, so did not always go to the bottom of the wrecks. There are a variety of things to look for, and the dive briefings were helpful in suggesting what was best on each particular wreck. Dive guides will be glad to lead inside engine rooms and other compartments, pointing out items of interest. Be sure to have a dive light as some areas are dark. Lots of coral growth with good fish life. In several locations, we were able to make two dives on the wreck (nice to be able to go back to get pictures you missed or see more of the wreck). The Odyssey has a cool "elevator" as an alternative to coming up on the ladder. They also drop a bar at 15feet if you want to use it during your safety stop. The boat does swing, but moorings are near the wrecks so you just jump in or come out when the boat is close/over the wreck. The Odyssey also has steel 100 tanks available (no extra cost), which we enjoyed for more air and less lead weight needed.

UW Photo Comments	Wrecks are mostly wide angle, but there is good coral growth with fish life and critters if you want to focus on macro. Boat has room inside for charging batteries. Camera table on the dive deck and camera only rinse tanks on both sides between the swim platform and dive deck area.
