The latest report on TripAdvisor shows how far things have gone downhill on the Thorfinn. Higgs normally uses the dive boats to ferry passengers from Weno to the Thorfinn. That is no longer possible. I had reported how sickly engines his dive boat engines were, and he responded by promising...

If I understand your English properly, you saying that there are underwater torches. Using a torch to look into dark parts of the wreck during a daylight dive is different from diving on wrecks at night in total darkness. Can you tell the difference between night and day, and that most divers...

Just be aware that the "5 dives a day" deal at the Thorfinn is a marketing trick. The 4th dive is scheduled to leave the Thorfinn at 1700hrs local. It gets dark at 1730hrs. With the engines now permanently sick, you will have about 5 minutes of usable light at most after you enter the water...

You are correct that I did not "Research the hell out of it then pay". My mistake. So what I'm doing now is to alert others who are thinking of diving with the Thorfinn. Thank you for the backhanded compliment that my extensive research came too late for myself. I hope others can now benefit...

Hello Lance, So nice to see you as usual with your wordy flowery sentences comprising many words but in fact providing almost nothing of substance. You have huge problems with your boat and dive operations. Don't distort facts about your negligence into a story where you are suddenly the...

Which voice do you think I was? Looks like you have already jumped to conclusion there. Prejudiced, are we? Filming him was to remove wriggle room for him to claim he said this and that. It also shows his body language, something that mere text cannot. This is not a cross examination. Why not...

Have a look at the video again. Start from the beginning. See how he put puts his foot up. Read the rest of his body language. Do you think he would convince you as someone who is sorry? Or are you likely to be even more angry? And then after that listen to a bunch of lies which is just plain...

It can be argued that if a diver gets bent or lost it is his own fault. However, while we are responsible for own behaviour, we are also entitled to expect competent backup - meaning proper boats, reasonably equipped first aid facilities and a response plan in case that happens. The Thorfinn...

Thanks guys for your replies. Lance Higgs is someone trapped in the 90s. Even his boat is steam-driven. He has been cut off from the world living out his floating dictatorship in Truk lagoon and believes he can control information to and from the outside world. He still thinks that in this day...

Thanks for the welcome!Yes I totally agree that I should have come here when choosing who to dive with in Truk. My mistake.To add value to the reviews already posted, at least I have a videoof him "apologizing" for his shoddy work. Now it is no longer about who said what - everyone can see for...

I spent 8 nights on this ship. The dive sites were fantastic, which were nothing to do with the Thorfinn. The ship itself (cabin, cleanliness, facilities, food, service) ranged from unacceptable to good. In short, an inconsistent and random performance. Most important and critical - safety...
