We will be on the Odyssey live-aboard. You can check out their website at www.trukodyssey.com. I've got a few confirmed on the trip already, I'm lookin to take fifteen total. The cost for the trip is $2,395 per person double occupancy. This does not include airfare. I've organized these types of trips before and I've found that a lot of folks have frequent flyer miles galore. There are also a few incidental costs on top of airfare. The folks that went on the trip last year said they spent a little under 4000 for the entire trip. they were all flying from Hawaii.. feel free to pm me if you guys have any further ques.. thanks

We are heading to Truk in November. What kind of wet suit did you use. Is 3mil suffeciant?

No wetsuit is needed at Truk. Wear a rash suit or supersuit to protect your skin from scratches if you feel you need it.

Last time I was in Truk I wore shorts and a t-shirt.

The Truk Continental hotel is one (only?) hotel on land.

Just friendly reminder.... The wrecks at Truk are all war graves. Please treat them as such.

Aloha all, sorry for the late reply, been overcome by events.. yes 3 mm wetsuit sufficient, maybe even overkill.. I usually go on a live-aboard and do way too many dives to go with just shorts on.. I understand that there are resorts in Truk, but the folks that travel with me insisted on booking the Odyssey, I think that they're looking for high pamper factor.. Still a few spots open on the trip, feel free to email me if you have any ques.. happy diving

I was doing 4-5 dives a day in shorts and t-shirt.... If anything I was more comfortable than when I was diving a 1mm on the first day.

The water was about 25-30C at 40-50m..... the suit was just annoying during my surface interval.

Boyancy and control is the issue..... If you brush bare skin against fire coral, you'll know about it.
