Re: Diving Guam - Scuba Dive Guam Guam's airport services more than six airlines and four domestic carriers on a daily basis. Up to 2.8 million passengers were transported in 1995. Flights are available to the U.S. mainland by way of Hawaii, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries, as well as islands throughout the Pacific including Cairns in Australia. Guam waters maintain a temperature of 82-86 (28C) degrees year 'round with excellent visibility at most locations.
As for diving, the three hundred varieties of coral make Guam a diver's delight. Whales, dolphins, mantas and skip jacks are just some of the sea life seen offshore. Popular wreck dives include a World War II Japanese "Zero", a U.S. tanker and a World War I German cruiser. The waters at Asan Beach contain several pieces of submerged military equipment embedded in the colourful coral reefs. Snorkelling is an absolute must to discover the multitude of exotic coral and marine life to be found alongside ocean treasures of incomparable beauty that line the reef. diving on Guam is VERY EASY. There are numerous walk-in reef dives, and a very wide choice of boat dive sites. There are virtually no swells 95% of the year, and most dive sites are within an easy 10-20 minute ride by boat. |
