Exploring the cemetery of Japanese ships from WW2 in Truk Lagoon, Micronesia. Truk is home to over 70 ship wrecks and downed aircraft, a result of Operation Hailstone in 1944.
Shortly after this all littered the depths there would have been a multitude of sea life feasting on the human remains. When I visualize that I cannot help but think of all their loved ones never having a body to bury knowing they are never to be recovered intact. My father would never speak of the carnage of war. I hope to dive here one day and pay my respects not only to those who lost their lives here but to those that loved them.
Japanese removed remains from all accessible wrecks and held solemn funeral. Some remains are still there, mostly below 200 feet. All dives are treated with deepest respect. Nothing may be taken from wrecks, especially since so much is live explosives.
@bobjohnson2089 there were wrecks we couldn't dive due to leaking oil and the possibility of explosion. Some sunk on even keel, some settled on their sides, and still others totally flipped over. What a very solemn and sacred place to visit. Thoughts and prayers for all those who died and their families. May we never forget. 🙏
Very sorry to those who came here for our boi Pingu.I also love Pingu, however this channel does not have any Pingu content. It is only very normal scuba diving content and no me me's.
So what about all those archaeological digs then? all those cave men bones, Egyptian mummies and buried vikings/knights/templars etc we dig up and put in museum? If we held up to this ideal we wouldnt be able to do anything anywhere since people have died literally everywhere throughout time ROFL
When I was there, there was a boat holding a Shinto remembrance ceremony on a wreck we were diving on. Later, i spoke to a young man who was there with his grandfather for him to remember his brother who died on the wreck.
As much as I love watching diving videos, for me the inside of the wrecks should be left alone as they are known war graves. To many times our war dead are disrespected, leave our ship mates to rest in peace.
@@shadowjack8 to me personally it’s more like you’re actively digging up graves to look at the remains i am perfectly fine with looking at all of the ships from the outside but these ships are not open casket funerals they are memorials as to why we should never repeat the deeds of our ancestral
@suilxrd Nature heals its wounds slowly, also if interested look up ww1 battelfield "Epers" in France where there is so much unexploded ordnance in the ground that they claim it will take 200+ years to dig it all up
@suilxrd Your Welcome, it is one of the so heavily damaged places it cannot be excavated, there are also buried soldiers very likely there so unlikely to be disturbed in any case
seemed somewhat disrespectful to war dead. The ship is a war grave and yet the diver takes a cup and then draws a face on the wreck. maybe it is just I'm an old bloke, but to me, it seemed wrong to do these things.
I see your point and agree with you, however from what I saw the dive guides were generally very respectful. Everything that he picked up he would carefully put back right where he found it. Better to not pick it up in the first place though you're right.

Came for Pingu, WORTH IT!
There is no pingu, it makes me sad.

Thanks for the quality content, my deep condolences for the war victims
This is a war grave! It may well be a Japanese war grave but it still deserves RESPECT!
Are you saying it wasn't?
@@shadowjack8 the guy drew something in the sediment on the hull.

SIMPLEY AMAZING!!!! AWSOME VIDEO

Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
"pingu related content"

Came for Pingu, Stayed for stunning diving video!

But we walk through cemeteries and war memorials. Why not dive here?
I feel like they would like the company if there still there then there not truly resting just waiting
@@shadowjack8 The difference is obvious. Ask any sailor!!!!!

War in peace finally comes, When nature in all its glory, In time it sprouts an covers, War conquered by Mother Nature's touch.

I apologize excavated "Deeply" the surface maybe, but not without a lot of care.

@@supermegaas Yes. Dive guides were very respectful. Take only pictures, leave only bubbles.
Amazing footage. and to think one of the shipwrecks, the FujiKawa Maru, has the only example of a A5M Claude in the world
Phenomenal!!!
better than Pingu 12/10 I adore this otherworldly footage
thank you seadogsmithy
This is so awesome mate!
Thanks dude!

@@supermegaas а где ответ👍🏼
came for the pingu.. Subbed.
....in a way this is mesmerizing....it's like a hallucinating trip in the Land of Lost Dreams...
Came for the pingu... Stayed for the music.
What depths are these dives at? Awesome video
Thanks!, the deepest was around 55 metres, but most wrecks were around 15 - 25 metres.
Much better than Pingu.
So much at stake, so much to win or lose, and so much waste at the same time.
The futility of war.
I remember as a kid seeing the Cousteau documentary about Truk...and seeing the dead Sailors skeletons as a kid...
this should be the music video for this song
name of music, please ?
New Sky by Rufus Du Sol. As the copyright says in the description ha
3 skulls. Fun and entertainment in a crypt amongst the dead...
Why do they have to ad music to these videos redicoulous
So what is "pingu"? How deep was this?
Some wrecks were shallow at around 12m and some as deep as 50m, most around 20-30m
Those who souvenir these wrecks may go Home with more than what they expected, An unfriendly Ghost
I don’t remember this episode of Pingu...
Look how they massacred my boy pingu... he’s transformed into the ocean now 😔
Amazing how all that ordinance wasn't somehow recovered and disposed of.😒
Why add that pish music
Annoying music but good footage.
The use of music in this video is honestly somewhat disrespectful
02:48 MISTER RAY!
I guess you could call this lagoon the first Japanese buffet for the ocean life around Truk Lagoon on 17-18 February 1944...Sushi for all...
The background music here is grossly inappropriate and clueless.
Stop playing music on it.

Not one bit of sympathy for these dead. I'm old enough to remember what these guys did to their enemies.
