Truk
Join Y-kiki Divers on a wreck diving trip
of a lifetime! Spend 7 nights on the S.S. Thorfinn diving
WWII history in the world's most famous wreck haven - Truk
Lagoon. Spectacular remains of nearly 70 coral-draped Japanese
ships and countless aircraft were condemned to watery graves
by U.S. Naval air attacks during "Operation Hailstone"
late in World War II. Now lying scattered upon the floor of
Truk's huge 40-mile diameter tropical lagoon, they are easily
accessible to all sport divers seeking maximum attractions.
Truk
consists of seven major island groups lying within the Eastern
Caroline Islands, about 617 miles southeast of Guam and 3,262
miles southwest of Hawaii. The total land mass of Truk, including
the outer islands, is approximately 77 square miles.
Yap
Next stop is Manta Ray Bay Hotel on the island of Yap. Here
you will have the opportunity to dive with these gentle creatures
that will awe you with their graceful moves and friendly nature.
This is the world's most famous home for mantas. Identifiable
by their unique underside markings, they are known by name
with the Yap Divers staff. As we take up positions around
the cleaning stations the mantas will glide in and slowly
circle while being cleaned and many times will slowly cruise
right by you as if to say hello. Excellent macro diving and
the brightly colored Mandarin fish make Yap a top dive destination.
 Honolulu
On our way home from Yap we will stop in Hawaii for 2 nights to take a break from the long flights and all the diving we had to endure.... and have a nice rest while we see the sights, soak up some sun on Waikiki beach and then fly home rested and ready to go back to work. WORK! Yeah, but nice and tan! If you've never been to the Arizona Memorial or the USS Missouri you will want to add that your list.
