Azumasan
The Japanese transport Azumasan Maru sits upright on a steep slope off Tasivarongo Point which is about 9 miles (14 km) west of Honiara. >The bow is around 140 feet (40 m) down and the stern in very deep water.
Because of the depth of this wreck, all dives are decompression dives which require the appropriate training and experience. For safety reasons, twin tanks with a separate regulator and gauges on each tank, and a dive computer are required for diving on this wreck.
The forward kingposts can be reached but the bridge at 200 feet (60 m) is the limit for safe diving on this ship. |
