Chuuk (Truk) Lagoon a Diving Adventure to the ghost fleet of World War II

In February 1944 the United States launched Operation Hailstone - often referred to as Japan's Pearl Harbor - a surprise naval air attack that lasted 3 days. It decimated the Japanese fleet. More than 230 aircraft were destroyed and more than 50 ships sunk. It unintentionally created one of the best wreck diving destinations in the world. We dove here on the 74th anniversary of the attack. Many lives were lost a sobering week of scuba diving for sure! Thanks for watching.
