25. Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia
Once known as Truk Lagoon, this is one of the best World World II wreck dive sites in the world. In February of 1944, this Japanese Navy stronghold was bombed to bits. The remains currently rest on the ocean floor. There are more than 50 ships and roughly 260 aircraft making up this ghostly, coral-encrusted ghostly collection. They are now visited by iridescent fish and prowling reef sharks.
26. Coron Bay, Philippines
Here off the coast of Palawan island, are the best-preserved World War II wrecks in the world. Coron Bay was once a site of an American bombing campaign against the Japanese. Today, six trashed wartime vessels can be found there on the seafloor. Perhaps the most well-known wreck is the 168-meter-long oil tanker Okikawa Maru or the heavily-armed vessel Akitsushima, which even had a seaplane-launching crane.
