Gunther Deichmann - the wrecks of Truk
Lagoon
Truk Lagoon is recognized as the world’s
greatest wreck diving destination and for good reason. More than 60
World War II Japanese war ships and aircraft were sunk
during
Operation Hailstone in February of 1944 and now rest peacefully on the floor
of Truk Lagoon. All of these sunken monuments are accessible to the
scuba diver – most at a depth suitable for the novice or
sport diver.

Truk lagoon
The
Truk Lagoon is roughly 40 miles in diameter and
encircles 14 major, populated islands. Weno Island is the Capitol
Island of Chuuk State and home to the Truk Lagoon Dive Center. Our
Dive Map will show that the majority of these wrecks are highly
concentrated in just 3 areas – all within a few miles of each
other. Travel time from the
Truk Stop Hotel’s private dock to most of these wrecks
is less than 20 minutes.
The
Truk Lagoon Dive Center offers a two tank am or morning dive then
additional one or two tank dives in the afternoon. The most
commonly visited or favorite wrecks chosen by divers
are:
Great NEWS...BUSUANGA AIRPORT in PALAWAN Philippines extended... now more flights,comfort...plus several Whaleshark sightings in the Coron Island area
NATURE is a lot closer now....
BUSUANGA AIRPORT Palawan Philippines...
CLUB PARADISE, EL RIO Y MAR
and the
DUGONG DIVE CENTER
Busuanga
Airport, landing point for
CLUB PARADISE, EL RIO Y MAR
and the
DUGONG DIVE CENTER now has a 1500 meter concrete runway plus
a 400 meter gravel extension.
This gives a new dimension to tourism in the islands of the
Calamianes. Whereas before only 19 seater planes were able to land,
Busuanga airport is now being served by the super fast 32-seater Do
28 (needs only 35 minutes to get there from Manila) and the 50
seater Dash-7.
Starting next week, May 17, 2008 the service of a 72 seater plane
from Phil Airlines will begin daily flights. This will bring the
total seat capacity per year to about 100.000 seats yearly. New
hotels, lodging houses and resorts are under construction and on
the planning board. Present room capacity of 400 rooms will be
double within an
year.

The Government has decided to pave the road from Coron to Busuanga
Airport to modernize the road system and create more
comfort for all travelers. Guests of the
Philippine-Micronesia Alliance
and
CLUB PARADISE, EL RIO Y MAR and DUGONG DIVE
CENTER will get to their destination a lot faster
and more comfortably now.
This will increase their time to enjoy all the exciting dive sites
to see the Turtles, Dugongs, WWII Wrecks, a whole fleet was sunk in
this area and of course beautiful reefs in this area.
Another great NEWS is, several Whale-sharks have been in sighted in
the Coron, Palawan area, a good reason for planning your next trip
to PALAWAN...the Philippines best kept secret...NATURE at its
best.
