Great trip by Add Helium: http://www.addhelium.com

BTW.  This is definitely a rebreather trip or at least one for Trimix diving.  You can go on just air, but you will be doing lots of decompression.  The HE is helpful for the 200+ wrecks so you can actually enjoy them.

For those that have no idea what this is here are some links for details of the trip and of Truk in general:

To that end, I have added a Stark Industries compressor to my list of toys.  While not the Iron Man Stark Industries – this still is an impressive company and piece of machinery.

After a few months of dealing with electricians (requires a 30A circuit), we have lift off!  Thank you Kristi!!!!

Looks like we are staying at Captain Don’s and diving with the famous Walt at RecTek Scuba.  We have gotten everything set from Sorb (ExtendAir cartridges) to tanks being ready for our Optimas.  I don’t think Kristi can wait much longer to go somewhere.

We really enjoyed our stay there.

While we have been looking at possible Bonaire trips, we have been amazed at the prices. It is basically double the price during the same time period. Oh, well.

Need to find a trip soon. Kristi is ready to get out of town!
