Wreck Diving - Truk Lagoon, Micronesia (Australia/Pacific)
Dive amongst sea anemones and Japanese airplane fuselages

During World War II, Campaigns against the Japanese deposited a couple hundred thousand tonnes of steel on the bottom of True Lagoon in Micronesia. Today, on resplendent coral growth, old Zero airplane fuselages and wing sections can still be found - providing scuba divers with one of the worlds best wreck sites. The Fujisawa Mart's hold still contains wartime ammunition, Dai Nippon beer bottles, stern guns and well-preserved telegraphs. Magnificent air compressors, a machine shop and a telephone booth can be clearly seen in the engine room of this World War II craft amidst a sea of anemones.
