Just beautiful, Doug...the photos, the music, everything...brings a tear to my eye. If I only go on one more Aggressor trip for the rest of my life, it's GOT to be this trip!! Again, thank you for sharing your amazing experience!!
Manta Feeding Frenzy Two dozen Manta Rays feed shortly after dusk on plankton attracted by our underwater lights. The Mantas congregate on this Kona dive site nightly, even when divers are not present. Speculation is that the brilliant lights of the nearby airport runways on the Big Island provide plenty of reason for the nightly bloom of plankton. Big Island, Hawaii - copyright 2008 Douglas M.

The Fujikawa Maru is one of the most spectacularly beautiful shipwrecks in Truk Lagoon. Truk (Chuuk) is in the Federated States of Micronesia in the western Pacific. It was the scene of a World War II battle between the Allies and Japan. Operation Hailstone sent some 40 Japanese merchant ships (maru) to watery graves in the shallow lagoon.
The Shinkoku Maru is a Japanese merchant ship sunk in Truk Lagoon during World War II. Operation Hailstone was a surprise naval operation against the Japanese Fourth Fleet at anchor in the lagoon.
