Heian Maru
La profundidad indica el rango desde la parte superior del punto hasta su máximo habitual; la "certificación recomendada" es el nivel que los operadores suelen exigir según las principales agencias, no una norma legal. Las corrientes y la visibilidad cambian a diario — considera todo esto como rangos de planificación.
At over 150 m, the Heian Maru is the largest ship in the lagoon — a prewar NYK passenger liner converted into a submarine tender, caught at anchor in the February 1944 raids. Her name remains readable on the bow in both Latin and Japanese characters, a detail that stops most divers mid-fin-kick. Because she rests on her side, swimming her length feels like flying along a steel cliff: propellers, promenade windows, and holds where spare periscopes and torpedo bodies lie racked in the dark. Her scale means most visitors take two dives to feel they have seen her at all.
El momento por el que vienes: The lettered bow; periscopes and torpedoes in the holds; the sheer scale of a liner-sized hull on its side.
Topografía: Hull on its port side across the lagoon floor at about 34 m
Entrada: Moored dive; orientation matters — the ship lies on her port side, so decks read as walls.
Lo que debes saber antes de tirarte al agua
Riesgos: Sideways orientation disorients inside; long swim distances for the air supply; torpedo warheads and ordnance remain in the holds.
Conservación: Widely treated as a war grave — crew died in the attacks. Dive her as a memorial: nothing lifted, nothing rearranged, remains untouched.
Nitrox: Vale la pena aquí — los perfiles se sitúan en el rango donde el aire enriquecido (nitrox) amplía de forma significativa el tiempo sin descompresión (con la formación necesaria para usarlo).
