Diving Truk Lagoon - Inside the Heian Maru in 4K

Micronesia finally opened its doors - post Covid. A February 2023 dive trip to Truk (Chuuk) Lagoon with The Dirty Dozen Expeditions. 16 dives, 9 days and over 400GB of video footage collected from inside and outside these wrecks. This video is a compilation focused on the Heian Maru, the largest divable wreck in Truk Lagoon. Sat in ~35m of water, the wreck is in good condition considering the many fires onboard prior to her sinking on day 2 of operation Hailstone. This video follows two large swim throughs on this wreck including the engine room which was badly impacted by a torpedo and raging fires before she sank carrying with her 18 crew members.

I dove Truk in 1980, great people, place and fantastic diving! ❤

[@nomaddivelogs]

Would have been great to dive it back then and compare the condition of the wrecks

@nomaddivelogs so I want to go back! Unfortunately, several people from my group are no longer living. Our trip was cut short on the island of Yap due to a crash. Remains are still there in the jungle.
