Morseman, diving in and around Bikini Atoll is big business particularly down to the USS Saratoga (marvellous survivor, should never have been used in the test IMHO) and her Helldivers and the Japanese battleships. I think it was only surveyed in the 70s and opened up to diving in the 80s. The original Bikinians from that time and their descendants, however, live elsewhere in the Marshalls and might return one day.

I have a couple of t-shirts from Bikini Atoll Divers, not that I've been mind you, but how else do you get major WWII warships on a t-shirt?! LOL. I've got the Size Does Matter and the Nagato shirts.

Welcome to Bikini Atoll
