Thank you so much for the video! I stayed at the Blue Lagoon for 12 days in April 2016, and have had a return trip in mind ever since, wanting to do the live aboard this time. So your video was very informative, what a beautiful boat. Greetings, from California.

mokpot I’m so glad you liked the video and found it useful, I was quite nervous about doing it but loved documenting our trip. We had the most amazing time there and were blown away by the wrecks! The Odyssey is a wonderful boat, couldn’t have asked for better service, food and staff 👍🏼 Feel free to share 😁

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful time of yours. Truk is a special and great place for divers. Thanks again for sharing and I am so blessed to be part of this journey.

Black Manta Photography , that’s great. Hope to see you there next time.

I am so happy to see this video 😢 you don’t even know how much I miss chuuk so much . When I was in my senior year I used to work on the very small ship called Truck master and then after I graduated in 2018 I moved from there to the US until now 2022

Glad to know you enjoyed your time on our beautiful island of Chuuk

Thank you for putting up. I was sent your channel from someone who dived with you guys when in Truk. We meant to be heading there in 2021 and was wondering if you would recommend liveaboard or resort. What company would you recommend. Love the video team from fellow British diver in Bermuda!

@BlackMantaPhotography

Blue Horizon Diving ah how lovely! I wonder who that person was? Was a great group we had actually! I’d highly recommend the Odyssey liveaboard. There are only a couple that operate in Truk, but the Odyssey are a class about the rest. Outstanding facilities, full TEC set up, even has a lift into the water which makes things so easy! High class food and snacks and a full inclusive international bar. I’d definitely go liveaboard over land based - again, there are a few resorts but they don’t cover all the dive sites/wrecks due to location and distance. It’s the Odyssey that features in this video. We had a few nights in the Blue Lagoon resorts either side of the liveaboard - rooms and food was quite basic, so if you want a great experience I’d only use them as a stop gap to acclimatise before heading out on the boat. Hope life is treating you well in Bermuda...!?

@@BlackMantaPhotography It was a KZread channel called The Squid. They were uploading their Truk Lagoon footage other day. Was very helpful. They were only staying and diving from Blue Lagoon Resort but remember all of you and recommend you all for liveaboard advise lol. Perfect and your video was so informative and the diver lift is a massive plus. The boat looked great setup overall and perfect for group of divers. Our group heading out is half tec and the other half are rec. Does the boat cater to both on same trip? Can't complain being in Bermuda. It was work that brought me over here from rainy Glasgow almost 4 years ago now lol.
