Guam scuba diving is
perhaps one of the most popular things to do in the waters surrounding
the island. While there are multiple places to enjoy
Guam diving, Guam
scuba diving is particularly popular near
Cocos Island, Tumon and Apra
Harbor. Guests can spend time scuba diving
Guam in one or all of these
locations. Travelers will find that Guam scuba diving equipment is
easily located at most hotels and ocean side shops in the coastal
villages.
One of the best places for Guam diving for the beginning scuba diver
is Tumon Bay. Guam diving in Tumon Bay is renowned for the beautiful
coral reef that protects the bay and the calm waters created by the
reef. Many shops with equipment for scuba diving Guam are located
between Tumon and Agat, so no matter where you are headed or from
which direction you are coming, you will have no trouble finding a
place to rent scuba diving equipment.
For the most part, scuba diving Guam is considered quite easy when
compared to some of the other diving places around the world in diving
hot spots like Mexico or Australia. One advantage to
diving in Guam is
the idyllic weather conditions. There are almost no wave swells
throughout most of the year, and since the climate is incredibly
moderate year round, guests can usually count on storm-free
conditions.
Visitors who have never participated in scuba diving before will be
pleased to find that there are dive schools in
Guam. In order to scuba
dive, it is required that you take at least some instruction, and
there are plenty of opportunities to do just that on Guam. To get the
best prices and times, you will want to try and book your beginning
dive as far in advance as you can. Reservations can be made from the
United States or at your Guam hotel or resort.
In addition to gentle harbor dives, scuba divers can also charter a
boat or book a scuba diving tour. A scuba diving boat tour will travel
further out from the island into the ocean, where a different variety
of sea life can be viewed. Scuba diving boat tours will be more
expensive than the walk-in diving available near the shore.
Another popular way to experience scuba diving in
Guam is by night
diving Guam. Night diving Guam is, as the name suggests, scuba diving
at night. The advantage to night diving Guam is that a whole different
sort of marine wildlife culture is available for viewing. Just like
the nocturnal animals we are accustomed to on land, the ocean is home
to its own group of nocturnal life, the most famous of which is the
octopus. Night is by far the best time for viewing octopus and some
other interesting sea life. Whether you find yourself on the west,
east, or southern coast of Guam, scuba diving is a great way to
experience the waters off of the coast of Guam and take advantage of
the incredible diving conditions to suit every ability. |
