Let’s back up and show you where you are with an aerial shot taken while flying over Chuuk in south western part of the Pacific Ocean. Chuuk is the new name for an island group which formerly were known separately as Truk, Ruk, Hogoleu, Torres, Ugulat, and Lugulus. Chuuk is part of the Federated States of Micronesia.

Meanwhile during scuba diving in Truk Lagoon, wreck divers must always be alert for other dangers besides those inside shipwrecks and downed planes. According to verethragma, the photographer, this is “Sharka Kahn: A grey reef shark. One of very many in the water at the time. And they were NOT fed to attract them…” Photo #9 by © verethragma
A truck in a hold of the San Francisco Maru at 50m depth in Truk Lagoon. We think the ghostly remains are eerily cool, yet creepy, but the photographer gh0stdot noted, “It was a tad dark in there, though, so it is hellish grainy. I do not usually take photos so deep, so I am pleased to have got anything at all in my fuzzy mental state. Nitrogen narcosis is quite strong breathing air at that depth.” Photo #10 by © gh0stdot
Matt Kieffe captured this shot of corals on the mast of the Sankisan Maru. Besides the massive graveyard of WWII shipwrecks, Truk Lagoon offers divers a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes of hard and soft corals. There are also diverse and eye-catching marine life in the shark-infested waters. Photo #11 by Matt Kieffer

Now for the skeptics: “Tractor & Ghost in Hokai Maru, Truk Lagoon.” Photographer Don Barnett noted, “The ghostly fluid is probably aviation gas that still leaks from hundreds of barrels on the freighter where this was taken.” Photo #15 by © Don Barnett

Seeing these comments and replies about the shipwrecks back in Chuuk that make me want to say this,as they seen the beauty outside the wrecks but if you seen inside show no life and you can tell even the fish are scared to live in and it shows you what the fish know or whatever could cause them in great danger as we humans will do the same without these wrecks it would be a great place for the fish to lay eggs and live in a healthy clean place.It would also be a future place for the Chuukese people who depends on this wild life in the ocean in this beautiful lagoon in Chuuk.
Most are waaaaaayyyyy too creepy but, loved the coral.

I dove many of these wrecks in Truk Lagoon in the mid-70’s. I couldn’t afford an underwater camera or housing at the time, so am enthralled by these photos – they bring back so many memories!! These are among the best dive photos I’ve ever seen from the wrecks.
I dove the Fujikawa Maru for both a day and night dives – astounding and once in a lifetime stuff. My dive log is full of wreck names and impressions. These photos bring so much of that back to life for me – ironic as it’s now known as the Ghost Fleet.
