Truk Lagoon: Setting the scene

Filed under: Truk Lagoon, World Wrecks    Written by:Peter Mitchell.

This is simply the best place to see shipwrecks any where in the world. The wrecks are vitualy intact and the Lagoon's water is gin glear.

Truk Lagoon is a vast body of water fifty miles long by thirty miles wide, and it is stuffed full of wrecked ships and planes.

Here you can swim through holds full of Zero fighters, or explore a ships bridge complete with ships helm, compass and telegraphs.Superlatives are meaningless. Truk is the Diver's Mecca.

This book by Klaus Linderman is the definitive book on Truk. I used it whilst I was out there diving, and have found it invaluable as and aid to jogging my memory of those great days.
