Chuuk Lagoon

For some reason or another, things just become creepier when they’re underwater. Example? A grave on land? Sad. Underwater? Grade-A terror porn, which is why Chuuk Lagoon is pure nightmare fuel. Back in February of 1944, the U.S. Navy launched an attack on the Imperial Japanese Army called Operation Hailstone. It was one of the most spectacular battles of the Pacific theater, and by the end of it thousands of soldiers on both sides were dead, and their corpses forever entombed at the bottom of the Pacific.

Oh, did I mention they’re still there. The Chuuk is the biggest ship graveyard in the world, but obviously, it’s not just ships: tanks, artillery, human remains — there are all sorts of corpses down there. So clearly it’s a total hit with divers and a must-see destination behind Sandles Resort.
