The Sankisan Maru

 

    The Sankisan Maru is a freighter that contained aircraft engines, medical supplies & several trucks.  This is a popular dive and frequently visited.  The masts contain heavy growth of soft coral and large anemones can be found anchored to debris on the deck.  A dive between 50-80 feet is easily managed by divers and it's protected location in the lagoon makes it a good dive even during bad weather.
