Comments	This is a superb dive operation. It's a long way and a long time to get there from the East Coast of US, but worth the travel. I came in 1996, and brought my wife and 2 sons this time and we all had a great dive trip. The diving is hard to describe since it is simply magnificent. The wrecks are accesible to most divers and it is awesome in its grandeur. The dive staff is superb, allowing one to dive his/her own profile, but available if needed. The wrecks are slowly deteriorating, but the soft corals are a dream for a photographer. The service by the crew is exceptional and the accomodations and food are fine. I can think of no criticism for the dive operation. They are professional, courteous and really try to make your week of diving the best. The trip back to the Mainland is a bear, having to fly out of Truk at 2:25 AM (that's right, 2:25 AM!). A stopover in Honolulu makes it bearable. We flew Continental and have no complaints. This is a trip for seasoned divers and well worth the effort and money to make it at least once in your life. Our dive shop, Wateree Dive Center in Columbia, SC will probably return again in a couple of years.
