Chuuk Lagoon Barrier Reefs Awash
Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, grey reef sharks and whitetip reef sharks - Chuuk Lagoon Barrier Reefs Awash offers some of Chuuk (Truk) Lagoon's richest reef diving. Water sits around 29°C.
The Awash site sits right on the barrier reef, a good spot to see what thrives outside the lagoon's sheltered waters. We often find the current picks up here, bringing in pelagics like grey reef sharks and schooling barracuda. It’s a drift dive for the most part, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with moving water. Expect healthy hard corals, sea fans, and plenty of reef fish in the shallows.
