    Chuuk is a group of 15 islands that are located on the Pacific. Chuuk is basically located 2,500 miles of Hawaii's southwest. It is said that Chuuk or Truk Lagoon is a group of islands shaped by a volcano. Despite the fact that diving in Chuuk may sound dangerous, many skilled divers around the globe would travel many miles simply to dive in Chuuk. The sole thing they want is to personally experience what it really means to dive at Chuuk.

    When it comes to diving, Chuuk is actually a good place to be. The first reason is considered the abundant marine life one can see. Divers will see not just different fishes but additionally various coral formations as well. Though Chuuk is proud of its abundant marine life, the main diving attraction is different. The primary attraction of Truk Lagoon diving is actually a part of World War 2's history. Chuuk or Truk Lagoon was a living witness of Operation Hailstorm, a massive battle of US against the Japanese. The US navy during those time simply had to fight Japan both on air and at sea for you to subdue the biggest Japanese Naval base situated on the South Pacific seas.

    On this operation, many ships were ruined and sunk under the sea. That battle had sung six destroyers, 3 warships as well as 3 cruisers. In addition, there are actually much more than 30 merchant ships scattered around the area. Divers can easily see tons of scrap metals and debris lying at the deep and this is due to that battle. Ever since then, this wreckage has been lying around underneath the lagoon. Many would even agree that this operation is the best if not among the best wreck diving areas today.

    These silent proof of the large battle is not a home to various aquatic lifeforms. This wreckage has become a big yet special ecosystem. Truk Lagoon has numerous wreck diving areas. These diving spots are Shinkoku Maru, Nippo Maru and Hoki Maru. When it comes to popularity, nothing beats Fujikawa Maru. It is because Fujikawa Maru is the biggest testament of that great naval war. It is 450 feet long and is just lying in shallow water. Because of this, it is easy to explore the site. Every part of the ship, from top to bottom of the wreck is visible if not almost visible.

    Another reason why Chuuk is considered as a good diving area is because of its wonderful climate. Climate of Chuuk is almost the same all year, making it ideal for diving. Usually, skilled, skilled and professional divers visit Chuuk all year long, even if during the windy months of June to November. On the other hand, novices and amateur divers flock to Chuuk during January to March when the winds are calmer.

    Indeed, Chuuk offers one of the better diving sites in the world. The only reason behind such claims is the fact that Chuuk diving spots are unique on its own, even if a diver compares it to other dive spots in the world. Chuuk also has different dive operators with good skills and dive experience. Food and accommodation in Chuuk is outstanding as well. However, Chuuk is not the only good diving site on the world.
