Chuuk (Truk) Lagoon
Chuuk is a wreck diver's paradise! With 64 WW II Japanese sunken ships in the lagoon, we've seen everything from bikes, to plates, sake bottles, trucks, tractors and of course marine life. I actually enjoy the fish more but it has been a great experience pentrating wrecks for the first time. Averaging 3-4 dives a day, we have gone the deepest yet (137 ft) and headed down companion ways with zero ambient lighting to see a fully intact wooden telephone booth with the phone still hanging on the hook. Thank you to Manong Jerry, Manang Helen, Peter and Lisa Aten who have given us the tour of the entire island and have done everything to make our stay absolutely incredible! Also, thank you to the Truk Agressor and their crew. Our week on the live aboard is the only way to dive the lagoon. We leave for Yap tomorrow and then on to Palau shortly after that.FMP

Are these your photos from your dives (did you get your hands on an underwater camera)?? AWESOME! I'm so jealous.

ps. Delete that post above mine. It's spam.
Yeah! Nice pic's! Hope you guys are having a blast.
Hey guys, sounds like it is a little tough goin'. I'm glad you are getting used to it because the Vietnamese will misinform you, etc. to make a buck as well. Don't let it get you down and remember the nice people you meet- hopefully these outnumber the mean. And, remember, after Vietnam is Cambodia and Laos where the nicest people on the planet live.
Looks like I'm goin' to Costa Rica for my holidays the off to Aus. in Jan and Feb so, if you find yourselves there...
Later,
Mizay
