LOOK OUT FOR ROD’S NEXT BOOK...

DIVE PALAU, The Japanese WWII Pacific Shipwrecks

In March, 1944 the U.S. fast carriers of Task Force 58 neutralised the air and naval capability of Truk Lagoon in the two-day air raid, Operation Hailstone. Six weeks later Task Force 58 launched a similar two-day air raid against the naval and air capabilities of Palau, 1000 miles to the west. The shipwreck legacy of these two audacious naval air raids has turned Truk and Palau into perhaps the world’s greatest wreck diving locations. In his new book Dive Palau, the Japanese WWII Shipwrecks, Rod Macdonald sets the scene with his usual level of meticulous historical research followed by detailed explorations of the wrecks today and newlycommissioned artist’s impressions of the wrecks as they lie on the seabed.
