Dive sites Truk Lagoon
Aikoku Maru – A large combined cargo and passenger ship resting on the right keel on the bottom. Cargo spaces are empty and the center of the ship has collapsed. We strongly advise against swimming into the ship. The first cargo space in the stern was for the military but is now empty. A large anti-aircraft gun is located on top of the rear deckhouse.
Depth: Superstructure 40 m, deck 49 m, bottom 64 m Size: length 150 m, weight 10 tons
Amagisan Maru - A combined passenger and freighter that was damaged by torpedoes and bombs. It lies on the sloping bottom with the stern deeper than the bow. Cargo space number 2 contains a car and other cargo and here you can take many nice photographs. The superstructure and especially the pilot house are interesting to explore.
Depth: Superstructure 31 m, deck 37 m, bottom 61 m Size: length 136 m, weight 7 tons
Freighter - If you saw a poster of Truk Lagoon a few years ago, this small freighter was probably in the picture. The cannon in the bow is the most famous part of the wreck and snorkelers can easily slide under the cannon and pose for pictures. The ship was hit by two large bombs and most of it is destroyed.
Depth: Superstructure 1 m, deck 9 m, bottom 21 m Size: length 136 m, weight 7 tons
Several wrecks…
Fujikawa Maru - As the most popular wreck in Truk Lagoon, this dive is a must whether you are interested in wrecks or the marine life on offer. Fuikawa Maru offers both. Here there is an abundant growth of soft and hard corals, anemones and crinoids. The cannons in the bow and stern are common objects for underwater photographers. All cargo bays contain cargo, but what is in cargo bay number 2 is very special, namely an almost untouched Zero fighter. The engine room is very interesting, but it requires special diving skills to dive there.
Depth: Superstructure 9 m, deck 18 m, bottom 34 m Size: length 132 m, weight 6 tons
Fujisan Maru – Not visited very often due to its depth. There is not much marine life there except for some corals and sponges that grow on the railings and lifeboats.
Depth: Superstructure 37 m, deck 46 m, bottom 52 – 61 m Size: length 149 m, weight 9 tons
…and even more wrecks….
Gosei Maru – Is better known as the "Stern High Wreck". The depth ranges from 2,5 m at the stern to 31 m at the bow. The propeller and rudder of this ship fascinate underwater photographers so much that they can spend an entire dive in that area. Things found on this dive are beer bottles along with beautiful porcelain pieces. Torpedoes and warheads can be found in some of the cargo holds.
Depth: Superstructure 2,5 m, bottom 31 m Size: length 82 m, weight 1 tons
Hanakawa Maru - Was loaded with jet fuel and set on fire by a torpedo. Traces of the fire damage can be seen on the bridge. This ship is located a short distance from the beach near the southeast part of Tol Island. Here there are many hard and soft corals as well as fan corals. A telegraph can be seen near the dock and there are still quite a few items left on the boat.
Depth: Superstructure 15 m, deck 23 m, bottom 34 m Size: length 112 m, weight 4 tons
Heian Maru – This former luxury passenger and freighter is located on the port side, so its name, written in both Kanji and English, is a common photo subject. If you swim into the first cargo hold via the specially made hatch, you can see several torpedoes. On board there are many items left.
Depth: Hull 12 m, bottom 36 m Size: length 155 m, weight 11 tons.
