The water was really merky,(Visibility was all of 20 feet)it was like diving through mud more than water, which I think gave all of the dives a really iery feeling. So many people died in that lagoon, in 1942, and as my dive buddy and I swam through the recks we boath felt realy out of place, almost as if we were being disrespectful by being there. I have never seen her unconfortable in the water before. Truk Lagoon is a giant grave sight filled with sroties and things none of us will ever know, and I think this image caught that feeling perfectly. I hope this is a fair tribute to all ot those people who served the ship. -All Comments Welcome- -Gabe-
