Don't Miss Dives:

Fujikawa Maru

some say that if you could dive only one Chuuk wreck, it should be the Fuji. Easy in terms of depth and conditions, it is overfowing with marine life and war memorabilia.

Nippo Maru

this 350-foot passenger/cargo ship is a favorite with photographers because of its battle tank, anti-tank guns, monolithic mast and picturesque wheelhouse. Depths range from 50 to 150 feet.

Shinkoku Maru

Highlights include a freworks display of bright sof corals on the outside, and cool engine room gadgetry, the bathroom, and sobering sick bay on the inside. Plus, Shinkoku rocks as a night dive.
