We finally made it to Bikini, and it was awesome! We flew Continental to Majuro in the Marshall Islands, stopping overnight in Honolulu. After another overnight in Majuro, it was on to Bikini Atoll via Marshall Air. Bikini Atoll consists of 23 islands of various sizes; we landed on Eneu and then took a short boat ride to Bikini Island.
Bikini Island is a gorgeous 600 acre tropical island with white, sandy beaches and palm trees. Back in 1946, the 167 Bikinians were moved to another location so the United States could use their atoll to test the atomic bomb. They have not been able to move back to their home since then, due to safety and political issues. The diving infrastructure is much better than we expected, with backups for electricity and compressors, a huge kitchen and dining area, a small theater left behind by a film crew, and basic, but comfortable air-conditioned rooms. After our first lunch and a procedural briefing for the decompression dives in general and our first dive on the aircraft carrier Saratoga in particular, we rode in the back of the transfer truck to the dock and boarded the small landing craft.
We did 5 dives on the Saratoga, including one interior dive, and never saw it all. The bridge is conveniently located around the 40` decompression stop. Other dives included the Anderson and the Lamson, both destroyers, the battleship Arkansas, the Japanese battleship Nagato, from which the order to bomb Pearl Harbor was given, the Carlisle, an attack cruiser, and the Apogon submarine. They were all fantastic, with many artifacts remaining.
