After WWII, the USA set out to test the effects of atomic bombs on a large naval fleet. So a mock fleet of 95 vessels was relocated to Bikini, residents were transferred to other nearby islands, and then 23 separate detonations were tested between 1946-1958. This colossal operation brought this small part of Micronesia to the forefront of the global press. Around the same time, French fashion designer Louis Reard was looking for a name for his new, controversial, tiny swimsuit design and the ‘Bikini’ was launched, which was said at the time to be ‘atomic’ in its revolutionism for women’s fashion.
Bikini Island is part of the Marshall Islands within the greater region of Micronesia. It has been uninhabited since testing, and currently, the only way to access the area is via a liveaboard. Bikini Lagoon became the final resting place for some of the most significant warships in history. Bikini Atoll was opened for diving in 1996, allowing divers to experience some of the most historical and fantastic wreck diving in the world. Although the island has suffered from explosive testing, the marine ecosystem around the island is surprisingly healthy. The lack of human interference for the past 70 or so years has allowed marine life to flourish.
