Truk Lagoon, October 2005

These pictures were taken on a diving trip to Truk Lagoon in Chuuk, Micronesia. We dived and stayed with Blue Lagoon who I highly recommend for both facilities and their knowledge of the sites, wrecks and history.

The wrecks were part of a Japanses supply fleet sunk during WWII by aircraft from a US Carrier group as part of an operation codenamed Hailstone on Feb. 17 and 18, 1944.
