for both recreational and technical divers. There are at least 60 wrecks known to have sunk in the lagoon during Operation Hailstone in 1944, from supply vessels (Maru) to planes and a submarine.
Many historical artifacts such as medicine bottles and newspapers along with articles of war, which include aircraft wings for the Zero Fighter planes, tanks, guns, gas masks and ammunition, can still be found at many of the sites. Whilst the wrecks themselves are encrusted with corals, you can still clearly see telegraphs, steering columns and mounted guns. There is also the opportunity to explore engine rooms and holds.
Surrounded by a coral reef, there are many excellent coral pinnacles and deep channels with schooling pelagics too!
