About Chuuk Lagoon
Chuuk Lagoon in Micronesia is regarded as the world's greatest wreck-diving destination, holding the sunken remains of an entire Japanese WWII fleet sent to the bottom in a single 1944 air raid. Coral and marine life now cloak the ships' guns, tanks and aircraft, creating an eerie underwater museum within a vast turquoise lagoon.
