The Unkai Maru is a deep wreck located in Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia, resting at depths between 30 and 40 metres. This site is suited for advanced divers with wreck certification due to the overhead environments and entanglement hazards found throughout the structure. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for views of the hull silhouette. Currents are generally mild, though divers should maintain disciplined buoyancy when navigating the interior. Access is by boat only, and divers are advised to carry a surface marker buoy and a torch for exploring the deeper, darker sections of the wreck. The average dive duration is approximately 40 minutes.

Carry at minimum one surface marker buoy and a torch rated for overhead penetration, as natural light drops off quickly inside the deeper sections of the wreck. Facilities are unconfirmed, so sort all equipment, air fills, and refreshments at your Chuuk operator before heading out.
Uman Island is primarily accessed by liveaboard.
