Chuuk - A Divers HavenTruk Lagoon Diving

The state of Chuuk is a diver’s haven. The many islands within this huge atoll are blessed with staggering natural beauty. The outer barrier reef is punctuated with idyllic sand spits dotted with coconut palms. The high islands in the central lagoon rise into the sapphire island skies. 

Chuuk, with its vast, shallow, picturesque lagoon is a Mecca for wreck divers. A major shipwreck site from WWII, Truk Lagoon is unquestionably the world's best shipwreck diving destination. Here, more than 50 wrecks have been transformed into shipreefs, holding the very best of the undersea world and maritime history all at once.
