About Bikini Atoll Nuclear Test Site

The turquoise lagoon of Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands was the site of 23 US nuclear tests after the islanders were relocated in 1946, including the colossal Bravo hydrogen bomb. Beneath its calm surface lies a fleet of sunken warships, and above it a poignant reminder of the nuclear age. It stands as a stark memorial to the dawn of atomic power.

Highlights

  • Wreck diving on the sunken fleet
  • The story of the displaced Bikinians
  • The crater of the Bravo test
  • Pristine, near-uninhabited reefs
  • Aircraft carrier USS Saratoga dive
  • Marshallese cultural history
