Travel Reviews Including Truk

SlideShow

The 126' Truk Odyssey has got to be the world's most spacious liveaboard. Six cabins (14'x18') have either one king or two twin beds, one cabin (10'x9') accommodates either a couple or two singles, and two cabins (11'x6') are singles. Each cabin has it's own bathroom, air conditioning, carpeting, porthole or window, and plenty of storage space..

 There is a large dining area, kitchen, and a separate entertainment lounge. Out on the dive deck is a three-tier camera table, two camera rinse tanks, equipment bins under each seat, and an easy entry/exit area. 

The diving consists of tropical reefs on top of wrecks and is done conveniently from the mother boat. The wrecks on the first week are typically 40-130 ft.  The deep wrecks on the second week lie between 150' and 180', where not many divers get to dive. They are worth the extra effort because they are in better shape. There is less growth on them and less degradation because the sun's rays cannot penetrate so deep. They also have some neat stuff on them that is not found on the shallower wrecks.

Special arrangements have been made to make your deep diving as convenient as possible aboard the Truk Odyssey. You will be using double aluminum 80 tank systems with dual valve isolation manifolds using DIN or yoke first stages. Aluminum 30's can carry your 50% mix with you, and there will be 100% oxygen available at the deco bar via long regulator hoses. This combination enables you to do a reasonably long (35-45 minutes) dives without having to do ridiculously long decompression. Bill will be able to train you for extended range & decompression procedures if you aren't already certified.  It is also possible to do the deep dives using a single steel 112 tank plus a stage bottle, but your bottom time will be shorter. Two deep and one shallow dive are done each day.
