Company description Established in 1992, Guam Tropical Dive Station has earned its title as one of the major dive centers on Guam. John and Paula Bent bought what used to be Guam Divers and renamed the store Guam Tropical Dive Station, better known as GTDS.
The two Australians are very involved with island happenings and it`s almost impossible to get Paula to stop adopting pets. Many of our employees go home with animals found in the parking lot.
John is known for his knowledge of decompression diving and his excavation of the Pilar, a Spanish Galleon.
In 2005, GTDS took on a business partner, Yasuhiro Maeda, from Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Maeda is married to Mrs. Masako Maeda with two excited children Sayaka & Shusuke, attending St. Johns School in Upper Tumon. Mr. Maeda is a great addition to the GTDS family, which leaves John & Paula traveling to Australia to see Grandson Remmington.

We have something for everyone - whether you want to become a diver, an instructor, go for a Discover Scuba Diving tour that does not require a diver`s certification, chill out on board the MV Scuba Roo, take the kids for a boat trip that offers it all, or just meet some really awesome people through our dive club - it`s all up to you. We run daily trips for diving and snorkeling. We have a spacious 40 passenger vessel and a cozy 14 passenger vessel, perfect for private parties. We offer boat charters in the late afternoons as well as night time charters, perfect for celebrating a special occasion.
Our PADI 5-Star IDC Facility provides the best dive instruction from beginner to instructor-level courses.

You`re probably wondering why our Dive Club has an Australian ring to it, right? Well, the founders of Guam Tropical Dive Station, John and Paula Bent are originally from Australia and they are hard-core Aussie jingoists! Just ask them. However, don`t you think ``Down Under`` could mean ``underwater`` too? So, it was a fitting name. One of our members actually thought up this name (thanks, Mark!). Well, Down Under Divers (the members of our dive club) are entitled to a number of benefits:
•5 free boat dives per year
•Advanced Rental Requests (don`t wait in line anymore!)
•A 15% discount on retail merchandise (excluding PADI Products)
•A 10% discount on rental equipment
