Chuuk: The South Pacific's Historic Treasure (3)

Explore Chuuk above the water!

Chuuk offers options for divers of all skill levels and all interests, from history to marine life to underwater photography. For non-divers, there are more than 15 sunken wrecks and planes that can be seen without putting on dive gear. The water is quite clear, so exploring is fun even at the surface with a snorkel.

There's plenty to do on land as well. Tours take visitors to the old Japanese command center, a lighthouse and caves that still hold cannons from the war.

Chuuk's capital, Weno has a limited number of hotels, but the best are well-developed for international visitors. They offer meals, Wi-Fi, beautiful ocean views and more. Their dive shops are happy to organize dive trips for groups big and small. Various dive courses are available as well.

What Micronesia lacks in size, it makes up for in once-in-a-lifetime experiences. "The Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon" belongs at the top of any diver's to-do list. With its stunning narine life, variety of wrecks and dramatic history. Chuuk is a fascinating destination waiting to be explored.
