The staterooms are equipped to easily accommodate two single travelers in twin beds or a couple in a spacious king size bed. All staterooms have a 32″ monitor with access to onboard entertainment system. Staterooms are cleaned daily.
Dining:
The Dining Room is the most striking room on the Odyssey. Attractive Fijian teak tables that can easily seat a full boat and her crew. Full service wet bar which is made out of coconut wood (also known as palmwood. After coconut trees fall, the wood is collected, treated and used to make gorgeous furniture.)
The Odyssey’s dining salon is fully carpeted and air conditioned with two walls of spacious windows for viewing the beauty of the islands in Truk Lagoon.
Delicious buffet-style meals are the norm for the Odyssey. We feel its more relaxed and similar to being at home.
Breakfast includes a hot breakfast plus toast, cereals, fruit and juices. Guests are served delicious lunches and snacks throughout the day. Hot, savory, hearty dinners will complete your exciting day of diving, eating and relaxing. Don’t forget the most important part of the meal though…the dessert!
Diving:
Since each day aboard Odyssey offers new adventures, no day is really typical. Nothing is routine and our schedule will vary depending on location.
The day aboard Odyssey begins after a 7:00 a.m. hot breakfast with your first dive briefing around 7:45. You will be able to do two dives before lunch. During lunch we usually move to a new site. After lunch you have the option to either do another dive, or relax on the either of the sundecks or in the privacy of your own stateroom. A late afternoon dive is also offered. Around 6:30 p.m. a sumptuous dinner will be waiting for you. After dinner you may choose to do a night dive. At night guests usually gather in the entertainment lounge to enjoy a movie, or review what was captured that day in video.
Since most of the dive sites in Truk Lagoon are fairly close to each other, it is easy for us to move around. The best part about diving aboard Odyssey is that we don’t require everyone to dive at the same time. So it is not unusual for you and your buddy to be the only divers on a 500′ wreck. For photographers, this offers more opportunities to shoot those popular scenes without having to wait for others to move out of the way.
During your stay in Truk Lagoon you will find that the majority of your diving will easily be done directly off the Odyssey while we are moored over the dive site. Once you arrive and set up your gear in your own private seat and protected dive locker, you won’t have to take your gear apart until you prepare to go home. Your tank (air or Nitrox) will be conveniently filled at your seat.
You’ll find that the spacious dive platform (13’ x 6’) has plenty of room for two divers plus a divemaster. One 7’ ladder and an in-water elevator to help you out of the water where you can step up to the convenient freshwater shower to rinse off with. Just 4 steps to the dive deck and you’ll find the camera rinse tanks (one on either side of the boat). Past the camera rinse tanks are the gear rinse tanks.
For our photographers, we have a large, sturdy, 3-tiered, carpeted photo table for all your working needs.
There’s plenty of space to hang your wetsuit on the bar just in front of the protected fan blowing warm air out of the engine room! Ahhh!
