Dive
Sites
Chuuk
Lagoon has attracted divers from virtually every corner of the world.
Marine archaeologists have located 41 World War II shipwrecks, referred
to recently as The Ghost Fleet, athough as many as 65 ships may
be quietly resting at the bottom of the lagoon.
A
majority of the wrecks are located on the windward side of Tonoas
Island, and between Tonoas and Fefan islands. Another concentration
of wrecks can be found near Uman Island. The dive centre generally
visits around 20 of the most popular dive sites plus other interesting
sites upon request or when conditions are right. Most dive sites
are located within a 25 minute boat ride from the dive shop.

Dive
Shop
The dive shop is conveniently located on the hotel grounds.
Blue
Lagoon Dive Shop in Chuuk (Truk Lagoon) opened its doors to divers
on November 13, 1973. Since then the humble shack has grown into
a modern dive shop that provides full service to divers looking
for adventure on the historic wrecks of Truk.
Gradvin
Aisek carries the legacy of his father, Kimiuo who opened the underwater
world of Truk Lagoon to the world. His experience and knowledge
of the wrecks has given divers an opportunity to enjoy "the
World's Greatest Wreck Diving."
