FSM - The Federated States of Micronesia - Chuuk - Truk

Chuuk Atoll, also called Truk, is infamous for its giant lagoon which is the final resting place for more than 100 ships, planes and submarines - the legacy of a fierce World War II battle between the Imperial Japanese Fleet and Allied carrier planes. The lagoon has been declared an underwater museum. Nowhere else in the world are there so many wrecks in close proximity, situated in shallow clear water. Many of the wrecks are visible while snorkelling and there are also many on-shore wartime locations to visit.

The tropical waters and abundant marine life has transformed the wrecks into artificial reefs and  coral gardens. The main island of Weno is the capital and commercial centre of the archipelago.
