Wrecks—Truk Lagoon has been rated "Number One Shipwreck Diving" location for three decades. The sunken fleet of over 60 ships is the standard by which all other wreck dives are measured. In February of 1944, Japan's fortress of Truk Lagoon was attacked by Task Force 58, "Operation Hailstorm" - a group of nine aircraft carriers and related cruisers, destroyers and subs. During two days and one night, planes from these aircraft carriers conducted continuous bombing, strafing and torpedo runs on ships anchored in the lagoon, Those two days of devastating air assault created what is known today as "Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon".

Reefs—For over a half century, these wrecks have remained undisturbed on the bottom of Truk Lagoon. A combination of unusually warm tropical water, prolific marine life and lagoon currents have served as a natural incubator. "Swords of Destruction" have been beaten into "Ploughshares of Beauty." Fujikawa, Shinkoku, Sankisan, Seiko, Hino, Kanso, Hoki, Hoyo, Rio de Janeiro, and Yamagiri Marus are incredibly gorgeous artificial reefs, offering you, the privileged underwater visitor, photographer or videographer a full-spectrum of colorful, brilliant underwater life.

Ecology—Truk Lagoon, along with Palau, offers greater underwater bio-diversity than any other location on this water planet. Marine biologists conclude that perhaps this area was, and maybe still is, the original Garden of Eden where marine life began. Scientists from around the world gravitate to this mecca of sea life in their attempts to better-understand the multitude of unknowns in the mystery of the food chain, and how this knowledge will benefit the healthy continuance of our civilization.

Close—So very, very close, once there! Using the Island of Moen as a base, your average boat ride to most of these wrecks is only twenty minutes. Maximize your underwater exploration time—bring your computers. The sites are so close. Spend your long surface interval back on Moen. Enjoy your picnic lunch. Explore nature and WWII fortifications on other islands.
