Truk Lagoon
DIVE EXPECTATION

Our last trip was May 2007, we will plan another soon, in the mean time if you would like for us to orgaanise a private trip to Truk Lagoon then please contact us. Truk Lagoon
Truk Lagoon is the wreck diver's ultimate destination, suitable for both novice and experienced divers. The calm, clear, sheltered lagoon is one of the largest in the world and being relatively free of currents, providing safe, easy diving conditions.

On February 17th and 18th 1944, the U.S. navy launched a devastating air attack on the Japanese Imperial Fleet that was situated inside the sheltered waters of Truk Lagoon. The assault was fifteen times more powerful than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour.

Code named Operation Hailstone, the initial strike was made up of 72 fighters launched from five carriers. When the smoke cleared 15 Japanese naval ships, 6 tankers, 17 cargo ships and 25 American planes and 250 Japanese planes were lying on the bottom of the Lagoon. Subsequent air raids in April, May and June sunk more ships, and by the end of the war, more than 60 destroyed vessels were on the Lagoon floor.

Abyss scuba diving is taking a trip to Truk Lagoon in May 2007.
