    Shore dives on Guam

    I'll be in Guam for a week before hitting GBR and Coral Sea and wanted to do some shore diving. Some of the shore dives I've done in Guam are: Gab Gab I and II, North Tipalao and Piti Bomb Holes. Anyone know of any good alternatives? How is Gun Beach from the shore? I heard it's hard to get in and out. I plan on going on a boat dive or two with GTDS or MDA, but want to do more shore dives to save $ for Australia.

    Gun is one of my favorite shore dives, so is Asan cut. both of these dives can be easy, as long as you know how, where, and when to go. When will you be here? I can almost always be talked into a couple of shore dives.

    shore dives

    Hey Rooster, my friend and I will be there for a week starting May 18. We are both 22, I'm originally from there, and he has lived there in the past when his parents were stationed there. That'd be cool if you could join us, how can I get a hold of you when I'm there?

    new to Guam

    Hello all,

    Were new to Guam diving, and are interested in learning the ins and outs to the shore dives on Guam. We learned real quick on Asan Cut that there isnt a replacement for resident knowledge.

    Hopefully, there is much to learn from the more experienced Guam divers on this board

    North End...

    If you have time, or if Rooster can show you, try to dive off the Air Force Base on the northern end of the island. It was there that I once had a chance to spend nearly half an hour diving with a large pod of dolphins.

    It was a remarkable experience...

    we live in south finn, so the AFB is ideal for us, we just dont have alot of info on locations. We have heard that entries on certain sites on the north end are tricky, and the time of year is important pertaining to currents and the like. I understand that there is a good dive off the beach on NCTMS as well, and thats right up the street

    I probably know both rooster and scubabunny, were in the main MDA shop quite often......gotta spend COLA on something!!

    I'm about to head out the door

    I'm meeting a friend at MDA at 0900. I drive a big black ford F-150 truck. Plates are 4DIVE4. The weather looks good! You are welcome to come along.
