Comments	This was my first liveaboard. It exceeded my expectations. Staterooms were plain but larger and more comfortable than they appeared on the website photographs. Ample storage in room for clothing, suitcases, dive travel bags, etc. My only criticism (and it is a minor one) is that the food could be notched up just a tad. The dive operation was ALL about service. Dive briefings were thorough and comprehensive. I'm not one to penetrate deeply into a dark wreck I haven't dived before. Whenever I was ready to dive if I wanted a guide one would don gear and take me through the portions of the ship I wanted to see. They would also let me dive ANY time my computer would let me, with a buddy or a group, with or without a guide. All dives were 30% Nitrox except for the San Francisco Maru which was 24% because of it's depth. These were all deep dives (for recreational divers) and not at all a place for beginners. I was surprised by the vibrancy of the corals and sponges. I was there for the wrecks but my wife (who is not as enamored by that pursuit as I) enjoyed the corals, sponges and fish just as much as I enjoyed the wrecks. This was a superb way to dive Chuuk. It is more expensive than the shore operators but their small boats (many without shade or shelter) looked pretty uncomfortable in the chop and the rain. I'd do this again in a heartbeat.

I agree. I thought the food sucked and I told them so in my out brief. First time I saw a chef live up to her name. Chef Poorly. For the cost of the charter the food should be much better.
