Plongée à Bikini Atoll — Marshall Islands
Bikini Atoll is the ultimate wreck dive destination — a fleet of warships sunk by nuclear weapons testing in 1946, now resting in crystal-clear lagoon water. The USS Saratoga (aircraft carrier) and HIJMS Nagato (Japanese battleship) are the highlights. Access is extremely limited and expensive, but the historical significance and diving conditions are unmatched.
