Shark Dives
Its fair to say that Truk is not regarded as a shark location, but on our recent trips we have
found two excellent sites not far from our base. In both cases we didn’t have long to wait for
the action to begin. It was almost instantaneous! Shark Reef is a submerged coral mount
surrounded by sand with a sloping sea bed to 20 mtrs. The more photogenic is Shark Island-a
tiny sandy island covered in trees. Grey reef and black tip reef sharks are common at both
sites and become very inquisitive as the dive progresses. Shark Island is an adrenaline rush.
