Diving Day Four. Truk Lagoon, Micronesia

The dives just keep getting better. I was kind of worried by this point of the trip that I would have had enough of diving and been ready for a change of scenery and it is in fact quite the opposite. I get more excited to dive as the days go on!

My right ear is starting to hurt after every dive. It’s not equalizing that’s the problem (which I somewhat expected to a certain degree) but more just the constant water in my ear. Walking around the ship head banging your head one way only goes so far…

13th Dive
133ft
50 min
5min deco stop/6min safety stop

Back half of this wreck was blown off in a fuel fire, the sides are peeled over like a sardine can from the impact. Inside the intact part of this wreck are tractors, trucks and a bull dozer. Lots of bottles again and another great engine room tour. Saw a cute turtle at the beginning of this dive.

14th Dive
122ft
50 min
5 min deco stop/8 min safety stop

Trucks inside the wreck on their noses, would have been lined up inside the cargo hold when the ship listed to the side. Huge ammo and nice masts on this dive.

15th Dive
112ft
56 min

Cool telegraph and bow gun. Lots of schooling fish. Inside the wreck, several planes and lots of ammo. Liked the prop on this wreck. Saw cool worm at the end of the dive which was about 2ft long

16th Dive
89ft
51 min

Twilight dive, some as previous wreck, nothing new to report.
