Re: Chuuk (Truk) CCR friendly & best time of year

I'm with Broady. My wife and I dove off of Odyessy in early November and I don't think it's better than that or as good as that anywhere else in Chuuk. We stayed a couple of days at Blue Lagoon as well and it just wasn't the same as waking up on a fresh wreck putting on your gear and dropping overboard before breakfast. Nobody was there. We watched the divers from the Thorfinn come in on the skiffs and we watched divers wait on that skiff for everyone to get back on before heading back to the mother ship. We'd already been in and back on board before anyone else arrived. We were also able to drop overboard for a night dive or two at any time since we were always moored overnight on a wreck.

My wife and I had been married about 2 weeks when we got there. We renewed our vows on board one afternoon (a surprise for my wife.) The captain, Stew, had flowers brought in for the ceremony and had champagne on board as well. I'd never thought about any of that, but he did.

My first choice in Chuuk.
