TAIHO MARU

This aircraft transport has come to represent the wonders of the sunken Japanese fleet more than any other ship lying in the Lagoon. It is 434 feet long and 7,000 tons with 6-inch bow guns. The uppermost portion of the ship rests at 40 feet; the starboard torpedo hole lies at 115 feet. Interesting artifacts, beautiful coral, and diverse marine life make the Fujikawa the most exciting shipwreck to dive.
