American Tanker (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(1,037)
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.
Butterfly and damsel fish will follow you around as you dive the tanker. Macro photographers should look for skeleton shrimp living on the clear tunicates scattered around the wreck.
