On the morning of February 17, 1944 “Operation Hailstone” a surprise attack by United States Navy aircraft caught Japanese merchant vessels and warships by surprise in Truk Lagoon.

Over 400 tons of bombs and torpedo were dropped during the sustained attack, with more still dropped when the attacks continued on February 18, 1944. A total of forty ships were sunk and thousands of Japanese were lost, and ten weeks later, a second successful raid sank even more ships.

Today the entire area has become one of the most iconinc and renowned dive areas in the world, and we’re giving you the chance to be one of a handful of divers to experience it.
