Air Marshall Islands?
 
Thinking of doing some wreck diving on my next vacation and I'd like to try some of the outer islands in the Marshalls.

I've searched high and low for any info on AMI but nothing seems to be current. Their website last update looks to be a few years old and extensive searches have turned up nothing (my last resort will be actually e-mailing them, but I worry that planning this six months or more forward might lead to disaster when I get there).

I know they have had a bad rap in the past, re., reliability, etc., so that's why I thought I'd ask here first. Does anyone have the latest on them?

Thanks!

Mate, I'd stick to the Solomon's. Still wrecks being discovered there. I dove recently on a Zero. Awesome! Actually bought a machine gun to the surface, but respectfully put it back in its grave. A new find in a river mouth in 30 feet! Its in perfect condition due to the fresh water.

My wife & I dived wrecks in Espiritu Santo in 1982. Got some good photos internal "President Coolidge" around 50m and even published. Can;t say what it is like now but we had a ball back then. For more accessible wrecks I would suggest Solomons and esp. PNG.

Oh, and I recall reading something about Guam (GUM) having lots of accessible wrecks and clear waters.

Bikini is awesome for wreck diving, there is an aircraft carrier there, the deck is in about 30m.
Rongelap, Enewetak are equally as good due to their remoteness.
The service is rather hit and miss, can't recall seeing any accommodation at Enewetak.
Which other atolls were you planning on going to?
