Wow. I hope to do Truk someday. I heard that there's some Japanese zero planes you can actually sit in down at the bottom. Did you see them?

Yes,
There are zeros in the hold of of one of the ships. You use to be able to sit in the cockpit of one of them. There are also WW2 japanease tanks on top of one shipe (Nippi maru), airplane bombs in one hold, torpedoes in another, 15 inch shells from a battleship in another. Machine gun bullets everywhere, and I hidden japeanse salior skull that the local divemaster knows about. The rest of the dead were removed in 1992 in a japeanse cermorny.
The diving is like something out of this world!. Hoes does 86 degree water (1mm skin needed) 120 foot vis, fish concetration 5 timers higher than the caribean, 70 WW2 wrecks, and a beatiful, picturise island with swaring palms trees and nice friendly natives sound to you? Is it paradise ? Match that with nice deep air diving 90 to 150 feet with no current. Is it heaven, it is to me!!!

Sounds like dive heaven to me too. I guess it's only the travel involved that we would have to put up with, eh? Of course, I would have further to travel than you but I would think that it would still be worth it.
