TRUK, Federated States of Micronesia

Clustered in majestic silence beneath the aquamarine water of the infamous 40-mile wide Truk Lagoon lie the magnificent shipwrecks of Japan's Imperial 4th Fleet, condemned to a watery grave over 50 years ago by the US Naval air attacks in Operation Hailstone during WWII. Today these looming hulks are still referred to by name - Shinkoku Maru, Fumitsuki, Fujikawa Maru, Nippo Maru, I-169-Betty Bomber, Jill Torpedo Bomber, Yamagiri Maru, Rio de Janeiro Maru, Amagisan Maru, Sankisan Maru, San Francisco Maru. All are remarkably intact after decades laying in peace in Truk Lagoon. They comprise what few will dispute as the finest collection of wreck dives to be found anywhere in the world. A wartime bounty decorates their decks and holds, while exteriors are sheathed in an extraordinary tapestry of brilliant soft corals and colorful Pacific tropical fish. These historical structures have transformed into beautiful reefs crystallizing a moment of history that will forever be remembered.
