Bikini Atoll is the site of atomic and hydrogen
test bombing in the late 1940's and 1950's. Bikinians still hope
to resettle their atoll with US assistance. Bikini lagoon has many
American and Japanese target ship wrecks, the final resting
place of some of the most significant warships in history. The US
aircraft carrier Saratoga (the only diveable carrier in the world)
and the HIJMS Nagato, flagship of the Japanese Navy, are the highlights
of this site along with other ships such as the battleship Arkansas
and the submarine Pilotfish, depths can average 130ft for wrecks.
Nearby reefs that are alive with all types of fish
and corals and have not been impacted by civilization for 40 yrs,
round out this incredibly unique experience.
Dive Profile
Because of the nature of the environment at Bikini, the diving is
considered advanced. It is recommended that only divers with proper
training, experience and skill levels consider going to Bikini.
Depending on the particular goals of each week's group, the normal
plan is 2 deep dives per day. There probably will not be ANY night
diving because the habits of the sharks are not known yet.
Reefs
Reef diving may provide shallower dives for afternoons or a change
of pace depending on the group. There are very flat reefs, as well
as gentle sloping, sharp drop-offs and walls.
Sea Life
This area has been untouched for 40 years and has very prolific
sea life including sharks, tunas, marlin, rays, turtles and much
more.
