Chuuk or Truk lagoon as it
is often called is not easy to get to, we traveled from the UK via the
Middle East to Manilla in the Philipines, from Manila we flew to Guam in
the Pacific, a very large US military air base. From Guam we flew down
to Chuuk lagoon, the flight took roughly an hour and a half. We had 10
nights on Thorfinn, the diving was excellent and we enjoyed every minute
of it. There was not a lot of fish life around but the wrecks were
awesome. It would appear that all the ceremonial items had been removed
from the wrecks but everything else was still there just lying where it
fell all those years ago.
