Nice thread.
Pics are great and well interesting. The Lagoon looks well worth a visit and may be a reason for me to clad myself in rubber. ( Legitametely this time :o )
Would be great to swim around amongst those aircraft and tanks etc. Knock a few skulls around and rob a medal or two. ;)
Crystal clear waters with no current makes it perfect for diving but i bet the place is full of Sharks. How freaky would it be to be sifting through dead bones and come face to face with a Tiger shark. :eek:

/switches gruesome mode on.
the bodies are consumed by the ecosystem.
The only thing thats left is their boots, its really weird diving a wreck and just finding boots everywhere. Though if you dive the wrecks at Jutland there are huge numbers of bones lieing around, very unusual, very weird and very moving. Brings home just how many people died on each of those ships.

If you find human remains at Truk you are mean to inform the authorities and The Japanese government will arrange for tem to be retrevied and given a proper burial

pls explain what a seperation tank is ? and how it works cos i've never heard of one ?
They have them in Petrol stations as you get water build up in the tanks.

Basically oil sits on top of water, so a tap low down allows you to drain out the water...
