Diving Adventures & Experiences 

Known as "Half a Wreck" the Aikoku Maru is one of the most damaged ships in the lagoon, with only the stern half remaining.

The Amagisan Maru, a Japanese passenger-cargo freighter, was built in 1933. Its life, like many ships of its era, was marked by both peacetime tranquility and the tumultuous storms of war.

The Dai Ni lies on a fairly steep incline with the now famous bow gun in less than 3m, while the stern is a lot deeper at 20m.

The Fujikawa Maru, a once-proud vessel of the Japanese Imperial Navy, now rests on the ocean floor as a silent testament to the ravages of war. Its history, spanning both peaceful and tumultuous times, offers a glimpse into the maritime world of the early 20th century.

Although the Hoki Maru is badly damaged in the forward sections, the aft No. 5 Hold contains items that can be found nowhere else on the wrecks of Chuuk; building equipment and trucks. There is an airport mule (tractor), and a row of trucks (about 3 ton in size) all stowed neatly together side by side at lower level. The wheels still rotate freely after 70 years submerged. Perhaps the most exciting find in the holds are two still intact John Deere bulldozers.

This shipwreck was initially discovered by Jaques Cousteau during 1969, at which time it was not dived. It was located again during a 1973 fathometer survey and the ship's bell was used to confirm its identity. It is one of the most spectacular shipwrecks inb the world and often called the "Million Dollar Wreck" by divers speculating at the worth of the military cargo aboard.

The Shinkoku Maru is one of the most interesting in the lagoon with vivid corals, and fish life along with fine arrays of shipboard artifacts. Night dives are supreme and rank with ‘best ever’. The soft corals and hydroids that emerge after dark turn Shinkoku Maru into a hanging garden and her medical bay is an interesting diversion along with arrays of engine and docking telegraphs on an upper bridge level.

The USAT Liberty, a once-proud vessel of the United States Army Transport Service, now rests in an unlikely sanctuary: the crystalline waters off the coast of Tulamben, Bali.
