TRUK LAGOON

WRECKS

Truk Lagoon FUJIKAWA

FUJIKAWA MARU

Transport/Aircraft Ferry/Passenger Cargo

 

This is probably the most dived wreck in the Lagoon - and with good cause too!! All our group had at last three dives on this wreck. It just kept on producing the goods.

The engine room is breathtaking. You can spend hours in this place. Really clean (ish!!) inside but the silt settles really quickly. Not only is the wreck amazing to penetrate but also when you come out there are schooling jacks, baraccuda, millions of baitfish, sharks you name it!!

A truly wonderful dive.
