Depends on what sort of diving you want to do. You could easily do Chuuk (Truk) for a month on $8,000, with accommodation, flights, two dives a day and food. We did 3 weeks there two years ago (last few days in Guam) and cost was about $4,500 from Sydney. Base yourself onshore rather than on a liveaboard, far cheaper and you will end up doing a lot more wrecks as the liveaboards limit tend to do multiple dives on the one wreck in a day. You may end up doing the same number of dives overall, but they will be a better quality as well as being safer (eg more surface interval).
If you want a mixture, then do two weeks in Chuuk, a few days in Guam and then the rest in Palau.
