Comments Very nice trip - we're NOT wreck divers, but the wrecks are great artifical reefs and the guides made the occasional penetration comfortable and interesting. The Chuukese have done some dynamite fishing, but the large lagoon is relatively unaffected. Huge cabin (plus some small singles). Food not gourmet, but oh well - nice beer/wine compensated. Perhaps the best staff of any boat (incl. Ocean Rover...) They offer Nitrox 30 so 120' depths no problem.
