About This Trip

For wreck divers this is mecca. In fact, if you haven’t dived Truk, you can hardly call yourself a serious wreck diver. More than 200,000 tones of Japanese ships lie scattered across the 65 km wide lagoon, the majority lie in calm, relatively shallow water and blanketed with a bewildering carpet of corals.

Dive Sites

Once a passenger liner she is now found lying on her side in 33 metres of water. The Heian Maru was used by the Japanese Sixth Submarine Fleet as their headquarters. Two giant propellers, torpedo warheads and submarine periscopes can be found here.

San Francisco Maru
This large cargo ship was used to ferry equipment and supplies. Several tanks, a truck, fuel tankers, an aircraft tug, steamroller and many mines litter this dive site.

Fujikawa Maru
This freighter served as an aircraft ferry. She sits upright on the sea floor with the upper decks covered in brilliant corals. Lionfish, blennys, anemones and clownfish cover the decks. The cargo hold contains parts from Zero Fighters, including props, wings, fuselages, aircraft guns, machine gun bullets and sake bottles.

Nippo Maru
There is little coral due to the deeper depth of this freighter, however this ship has the best preserved wheelhouse in the lagoon as well as artillery guns, a tank, land mines and two trucks.
