Truk Lagoon (Chuuk) was the site of the famous WWII air raid Operation Hailstone that lasted three days and sunk dozens of Japanese ships in the waters of the vast inner lagoon. Today, they are shipreefs, historic wrecks adorned in corals and full of marine life. For history lovers or reef divers, these amazing dives have the potential to overload the senses and exhaust the superlatives of every diver and srkeler that visits them.
