Didn't know it was open for general admission. Is there a time limit in place to limit exposure?

Quote HistoryIf one were to STAY in Bikini Atoll, drink the water and eat the vegetation: yeah that would be bad.
Radioactivity is worse in the USA than diving in Bikini. 
-- That is some awesome diving @PATHFINDER74 - I would like to do Bikini and Chuuk one day. |

I feel like there's more bragging rights with Bikini and you see some things you can't see in Chuuk. But, I have every intention of going back to Chuuk, whereas I feel like I don't need to go back to Bikini. The wrecks are shallower and, in my limited experience, more accessible in Chuuk. Keep in mind, the wrecks in both places have experienced their share of beatings before they ended up in the sand and their expiration dates are closing in. Eventually they're all going to start collapsing and will eventually be nothing bu rubble, so do it while you can. |

Thanks for sharing....
Posts like this help most of who will never make it there to dive vicariously through your experiences. You mentioned your experience in Truuk and how it will be rubble soon. Kind of long, but here is the Cousteau team there in the early 70's, maybe a bit earlier. I can only see the difference in state by vids and pictures, but it looks dramatic. Jump to 14 minutes if you want to skip the intro and ghey swimsuits. As a side note, in re-watching this, I found more evidence of my next double hose project. I obtained my first set of dive gear from a salvage boat that was bound for Truuk to torch screws and whatever else they could. That was '78/79. Their permit/permission was pulled at the last minute, thus the fire sale of equipment. Glad they didn't make it there. |

The worse part is, a lot of these wrecks still have fuel in them just waiting to bust out. |
