Stuart,
My wife and I went to Chuuk in Dec of 2010. We spent a week aboard the Odyssey Truk Odyssey and loved it!!! Up to 5 dives a day on YOUR schedule, not being herded in a group. I can not begin to tell you how GREAT it was... but you can check out a video of our trip at Our Truk Video. The downside of being on the Odyssey would be the price for your non-diver wife. There will not be much for her to do aboard the boat all day. That being said, I cannot say enough good things about the crew and the guides aboard the Odyssey. It is the trip of a lifetime, to dive on the shipwrecks there. Make sure you bring your underwater camera and/or video setup. In our seven days there, I did about 30 dives on 13 different shipwrecks, including my 500th dive of 175’ dive on the San Francisco Maru. That dive was optional and from descent to returning to surface, I only had 17 minutes of bottom time... with about 30-40 minutes decompression time. While I know that this is beyond the normal limits of "recreational diving, there were no "special" qualifications required by the Odyssey to do this dive.
