Frequently Serviced Dive Sites
★★★★☆ Scuba Beach
Scuba Beach features a wide variety of coral with several sand flats that make it ideal for diver training. Entry can be by boat or via a stairway built into the artificial shoreline. Depths range from standing depth to 30m+.
★★★★☆ Gab Gab 2
Gab Gab 2 is just north of the dive site Gab Gab 1. There is a floating bouy that can be seen just 100 yards offshore. Start your dive here by descending on the mooring line, then swim north at 30 degrees. You will see lots of colorful coral, large jacks, nurse sharks, and tons of reef fish.
★★★★☆ SMS Cormoran (Wreck)
The WWI wreck, SMS Cormoran lies in 130 feet of water on her starboard side, adjacent to the Tokai Maru (which sunk in 1943). This is a very unique wreck diving site as it is the only dive site in the world where you can dive wrecks from both World Wars in a single dive.
★★★★☆ Blue Hole - Guam
Blue Hole is a very unusual dive on a natural limestone plateau. A vertical shaft begins at 60’ with a large “window“ opening at 125’. Drift dives are possible. You must be an experienced Deep diver to “shoot the hole“. Great vis and the 30 to 60’ plateau make this a popular site for all divers.
★★★★☆ Tokai Maru (Wreck)
The Tokai Maru was sunk via torpedo by the U.S. submarine, Snapper on August 27th, 1943 and is now resting at the bottom of Apra Harbor in 130’ of water. Sitting alongside the Coromoran (scuttled at the beginning of WWI), this is a unique wreck site.
★★★★☆ RMS Scotia (Wreck)
Once the fastest westbound transatlantic voyager, the RMS Scotia was a British passenger liner. Operated by the Cunard Line, it was an ocean-going paddle steamer that was converted into a twin-screw cable layer in 1879.
★★★★☆ American Tanker (Wreck)
The American Tanker is a large concrete barge that was used during World War II to transport fuel from the United States to Guam. It was one of five barges that were brought to Guam and the remains of the others can be seen along the breakwater. This is a great boat dive for all diver levels.
★★★★☆ Barracuda Rock - Guam
This dive site is very popular for our local and visiting divers. Located along the Orote peninsula, an occasional barracuda is seen here, but not as frequent as in the past. Depths range from the very shallow to an average depth of 45’ to over 100’, with an average of about 45’.
