Truk Lagoon

Truk Lagoon (officially Chuuk Lagoon) is a central Pacific atoll located 1,800 kilometers northwest of Papua New Guinea. It is located in Chuuk State, Micronesia, and is regarded as one of the world's top wreck diving spots. The wrecks can be explored from either a liveaboard or a land-based resort, and diving Chuuk Lagoon is a highlight of many recreational and technical divers' careers.

Scuba diving at Truk Lagoon is most known for its 60+ World War II wrecks, easily making Chuuk Lagoon one of the best wreck diving destinations in the world. Truk Island was a Japanese Naval Base during WWII due to its strategic position. Today, the shipwrecks of Truk Lagoon are home to a diverse range of marine life, including soft corals and small schools of fish. Some of the wrecks are fairly deep, with bottoms ranging from 100 to 150 feet (30 to 45 meters), making Chuuk Lagoon a great technical diving location.
