Toa Maru is one of the largest and most intact Japanese WWII transports in the Pacific — 153 m long, sitting on her starboard side in 12–40 m off Gizo. Solomon Islands climate is divable year-round; cyclone season (Jan–Mar) brings the only real disruption. Cargo holds still contain tanks, bicycles, sake bottles, and ammunition.
