Chuuk Lagoon wreck dive with aircraft relics and coral growth.
Liveaboard or local guide support is the normal way to arrange access and wreck-day logistics.
Fujikawa Maru is a classic Chuuk Lagoon wreck dive with a towering ship profile, intact machinery, aircraft parts in the holds, and thick coral and sponge growth. It rewards slow, methodical exploration of the superstructure and engine spaces, with enough shallow upper structure for easier sightseeing and enough interior detail to keep trained wreck divers busy. The wreck is one of the lagoon's signature dives and is usually dived with liveaboard or guide support.
