Wrexpedition
Sixty years ago, during
WWII, Palau was a major Japanese military base. On March 30th
and 31st, 1944, US Navy bombers and fighter planes raided the
Japanese fleet and sank more than 60 ships and seaplanes in
and around the lagoon.
Today, Palau, renowned for its
beautiful lagoons and thrilling marine action is also the
resting place for the "JAPANESE LOST FLEET OF THE ROCK
ISLANDS". Covered by lush marine growth and protected by law
from salvers, divers recently discovered the beauty and
diversity of Palau's wrecks.
During Wrexpedition 2005, held on
June 5th through the 10th, research on the IRO was conducted
by members of the Japanese government together with
Mr. Tomimatsu Ishikawa - one of the remaining
survivors. The IRO is 143m. long and was used as a fleet
oiler and supply ship during WWII. The Japanese TV Team NHK
joined and did full coverage of this special
event.
Wrexpedition is one of our
annual special events which lasts one week and includes 5
days of diving, 3 tanks a day, seminars and tech-diving.
Between the dives and during the seminars participants have
