This is the one reasons why I have very mixed feelings about diving Truk and why I will probably never go. As a history buff, I would find the dives and the significance of the lagoon fascinating. It was such a turning point in the war in the Pacific and it decimated the Japanese fleet much in the same way that the US Pacific Fleet was at Pearl Harbor except that the Imperial Japanese Navy never fully recovered.Out of respect for the dead, our dive group decided not to photograph the remains of the dead. These ships are essentially war memorials and tombs. We felt it would be analogous to photographing our sailor's remains at Pearl Harbor. The bones were not plentiful like we thought, so 99 percent of the other historical war artifacts were much more interesting to photograph anyhow.
I would love to do that also but need to win the lottery first.Think there are about 60 wrecks but many have not been located. Would love to spend a few months there and find some of them as well.
