DR Maru

Local Name:

DR Maru

Depth:

I am told that the depth here is 25 to 30 feet.

Anchoring:

I know this has been dove from shore. I'd really like some input from someone still on Kwaj as the best was to dive this one!

Notes:

This wreck was reported by Broadwater in his book "Kwajalein: Lagoon of Found Ships". It was re-discovered around May or June of 2006 by Bob Swanson & Jonathan Welchman. Based on Broadwater's description, we believe this wreck to be what Broadwater calls "DR Maru".

Photos:

I believe that we are seeing a boot, foul weather gear, grab rail and a couple portholes. so, for a little rubble wreck, this might prove to be an interesting site to explore!
