Chuuk Lagoon
Chuuk Lagoon: (formerly Truk Lagoon– they changed the name back to its original name in 1986) is one of the most iconic wreck diving destinations in the world, largely because of its unique and haunting history as the site of a major World War II naval battle. Operation Hailstorm (Feb 17-18, 1944) was a massive US Navy aerial launched on the Japanese fleet in the lagoon. In just 2 days over 60 ships were sunk fully loaded with supplies, tanks, trucks, munitions and aircraft, making them compelling dive sites today. It is truly the “Wreck Diving Capital of the World”
Many of the wrecks are considered war graves, with the remains of Japanese sailors still entombed. But the wrecks are also covered in rich marine life with plenty of coral growth and flourishing marine eco systems, perfect for photography. Somewhat remote and rustic compared to other dive spots, its emotional impact, historical depth, and underwater beauty make it unforgettable.
