How large are those tanks? They look very small compared to the fish.

WWII era tanks were tiny compared to the modern machines we use today. That looks about right, as even the Abrams MBT can be crammed 2 to flatbed trailer if you angle the guns.

Where are they located? how deep?

It just doesn't remind me of Stuarts , maybe too many return rollers, and the side of the bogy wheel/suspension doesn't look right ... looks more like a type 92 light tank to me ... File:Japanese light tanks moving toward Manila.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
or maybe an armored tractor?

Very Cool though

Looking at the forward and rear large-diameter track sprockets, turret placement and the approximate size I'm thinking

HowStuffWorks "Japanese Type 89 Chi-Ro Medium Tank"

They were apparently deployed all over the Pacific aboard ships. Seems possible to me that these might have been captured or confiscated then dropped overboard, too.

This is an M3 Stuart. Tracks and suspension don't look quite right, turret centered on the length of the tank....

What is causing the perfectly linear shadow next to the vehicle in the third photo?

Hey you found em! I knew I wasn't freakin out when I saw them that day I saw you at the dock.
Funny to think you were lookin for nine years and I saw them on my first ever snorkel in that area...go figure. Were they in the general area that I pointed to?
