Truk Lagoon
About Truk Lagoon
Truk Lagoon is known for wreck diving on numerous WWII-era ship and aircraft wrecks that went down during an attack in 1944. The lagoon’s deep water holds extensive historical war artifacts across many sites. The wrecks have developed into marine habitats, with sponges and corals growing on and around them and attracting a variety of reef life.
