Truk Lagoon liveaboard highlights
Truk Lagoon is best known for its world-class wreck diving and variety of wrecks ranging from supply vessels (Maru) to planes and a submarine, all tightly packed into a coral reef lagoon.
During WWII, the Japanese fleet used Truk Lagoon as one of their main staging points for attacks on the allied forces. In 1944 the American-led “Operation Hailstone” surprised the fleet resulting in the plethora of dive sites which we can see there today. With over 60 wrecks to explore, it’s easy to appreciate why divers travel to this area time and time again.

Cultural history
Historically educational
Many historical artefacts such as medicine bottles, gas masks and other personal effects, along with articles of war including engines, aircraft wings, tanks, guns and ammunition can still be found at many of the sites. Whilst the wrecks themselves are encrusted with corals, you can still clearly see telegraphs, steering columns and mounted guns.
There is also the opportunity to explore engine rooms and holds. Surrounded by a coral reef, there are many excellent coral pinnacles and deep channels with schooling pelagics too!
