Diving the Wrecks of the Truk Lagoon January 2005
(click on picture to enlarge)
The Truk Lagoon lies 650 miles from Guam in the South Pacific. A little over 2 years after Pearl Harbor, the US carrier Yorktown led an attack on Japaneses "Pearl Harbor"; its supply point for it war ships, planes, and submarines. Over 60 vessels were sunk in the 2-3 day period. Skip, Robin, Gina, Tommy, and Jimmy lived on the Aggressor dive boat for a week diving the wrecks.  We then spent a few days in Hawaii on the long 23 hour flights home.
