Spanish Steps

★★★★☆

A great snorkel site by shore via Navy Base Guam, this dive is almost always done by boat and usually as a drift dive starting within the cove and then following the currents either to the north or south. Super clear water and home to schooling bait fish and small squid. Check out the carpet anemone in about 60’

Schooling squid are here on most days. Staying neutral and motionless will afford you a closer view of these fastenating creatures.
