Truk Lagoon (Chuuk Lagoon is its correct name),and it’s best known for its world-class wreck diving, plus the variety of wrecks: ranging from supply vessels (Maru), to planes and a submarine, all of which are tightly packed into a coral reef lagoon.

During WWII, the Japanese fleet used Truk Lagoon as one of their main staging points for attacks against the allied forces. In 1944 the American-led “Operation Hailstone” surprised the fleet and resulted in the plethora of dive sites which we can see there today. With over 60 wrecks to explore, as well as an abundance of marine life, it’s easy to appreciate why Chuuk is on the ‘bucket list’ for many scuba divers. Wreck enthusiasts travel to this area time, and time, again.

Unlike the wrecks of Bikini Atoll, the majority of the wrecks in Truk Lagoon are relatively shallow, and suitable for recreational and technical scuba divers alike.

While the wrecks themselves are encrusted with a variety of corals, you can still clearly see telegraphs, steering columns and mounted guns. Many of the wrecks offer the opportunity to explore engine rooms and holds. Historical artifacts such as medicine bottles, gas masks and other personal effects can still be found at many of the sites, as well as the machinery of war including: engines, aircraft wings, tanks, guns and ammunition. 

Surrounded by a barrier reef, Truk Lagoon has some excellent coral pinnacles and deep channels along with an abundance of marine life to delight those scuba divers who want to view more than just wrecks.
