About this site
This WWII destroyer rests in the Pacific near Bikini Atoll, sunk during atomic tests. The wreck sits upright at 50 meters, its guns and deck intact. Schools of barracuda and trevally patrol the superstructure, while gray reef sharks circle below. Strong currents make this a drift dive for advanced divers. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, revealing the ship's eerie preservation in the blue abyss. Part of Bikini's famous nuclear ghost fleet.
