Truk Lagoon
Truk is best known for its World-class Wreck Diving and with over 60 Wrecks, from Supply Vessels (Maru) to Planes and a Submarine, tightly packed into a Coral Reef Lagoon. It is easy to appreciate why Divers travel to this area time and time again. During WWII, the Japanese Fleet used Truk as one of their main staging points for attacks on the Allied Forces but in 1944 the Americans led “Operation Hailstone” surprised the Fleet resulting in the plethora of dive sites which we can see there today.
