... Chuuk Lagoon from last year written by Bill Stinnett & Gunther Deichmann. ...

Action Asia magazine is celebrating its 100th issue this month,
and is definitely worth buying if you come on holiday to this part
of the world for insights into places you can go trekking, surfing,
kayaking, rafting, cycling and, yep, diving all over Asia. While I was
hunting around on their website, I found this excellent and lengthy
article about Chuuk Lagoon from last year written by Bill Stinnett
& Gunther Deichmann. Bill and Gunther give a comprehensive
rundown of the history of Chuuk Lagoon and how the Japanese
war fleet came to be bombed there by US forces towards the end
of World War II, and then follow it with some evocative descriptions
of why Chuuk is considered the ultimate wreck diving destination.
(See the photo of the submerged Zero fighter for a taste of what
lies beneath the water at Chuuk).

For me, Chuuk is a dream dive destination -
even living in Bangkok, it is still a very remote
and so expensive journey to get out there.
And indeed, if you do go out there, then
you really should stop off at Yap and Palau too
given you’ve spent so much money on the airfare
to get to Micronesia… See TripAdvisor’s air fare
comparisons to Chuuk
for an idea of just how pricey it can be.
I blogged before on how my dad has dived
at Truk Lagoon, fulfilling a lifetime ambition -
there is talk of him coming back to Truk for his
sixtieth birthday, and if he does do that, I really
can’t do anything else
but join him there, can I?
