Chuuk

ok, finally posting some pic's from Chuuk (last month).

I highly recomend anyone considering going there to get trained for deco diving before doing this trip. then you will have more than 5-10 minutes on some of the wrecks, and can venture further inside them. (our max depth was 205', average was 150-160 for 25-30minutes)... anyway, on to some photos-

Shotan Maru - compass in the sand, around 175'

San Francisco Maru

'driving' one of the tanks on the deck at 160'

Nippo Maru

Hoki Maru - prop

Heian Maru - engine room bones

and of course- R2D2 on the Fujikawa Maru

Looks like you had a great trip. I really like how you set up the photos at your website with the diagram of the wreck, great idea.

Agree that knowing how to deal with deco is recommended for Chuuk especially if you are someone that likes to crawl around inside wrecks. But we had a great time and I only went into deco a couple of times.
