Truk Lagoon

Chuuk, including its large, shallow, beautiful lagoon is the ideal  Mecca. Hard and soft corals in an incredible scenery of colors and shapes attract divers worldwide for both daytime and night diving. The immense selection of artifacts still found on the wrecks after five decades are witnesses of the glorious history of the Micronesian Islands. Truk Lagoon is a wreck diverse paradise, perfect for both novice and experienced divers.  The calm, clear, remarkable lagoon is relatively free from currents, providing safe and easy diving conditions.

 

The lagoon has been declared a monument, and its souvenir  relics are prohibited by law. From their watery grave, the ghostly skeletons give shape to a unique and unrepeatable underwater museum.  The giant ships of war rest in the solitar ambiance near bombs, torpedoes, guns, tanks, planes, telegraphs, china, bicycles, shoes, trucks. The nature and the time  managed and transformed this graveyard into living shipwrecks of incredible colour and marine life.  Majestic  corals in all colours, anemones, daisy corals and sponges now walk to rusted ruins of military glory and many species of tropical fish play amongst once lethal weapons. The scenary is really fantastic providing  diffrent amazing views and offering exciting moments. This lagoon is a truly magnificent place, where the history seems to be related by the veritable underwater museum.
