Company description Fun Dive Guam is a scuba divers paradise. Every dive on Guam welcomes you with warm seas, tropical breezes and a stunning variety of sealife make Guam one of life`s relaxing getaways. Ok, so we are not the most ``In Demand`` destination for scuba diving but for the average diver we offer some of the best all around dives in the Pacific. Yes, I`ve dove in better locations but never had it as easy as Guam offers. The ocean is at everyone`s doorstep no matter where your doorstep is on the island. Photography is unlimited with millions of ``Nemo`` like creatures willing to give you their best pose. No bulky wetsuits needed, this is pure diving ``lite``. So what are you waiting for? Let`s go diving!
No matter your level of training, previous diving experience or body stamnia, Guam is the ideal place to have an easy dive free of the stress associated with the other dynamic locations. We don`t push huge fish, super deep wrecks or caves miles long. Our dives are for everyone, old or young, male or female, weak or strong. In addition most of our points are handicap accessible.
Never mind the heavy 5mm or 6mm wetsuits. The water is warm and most of us use only 2.5mm or 3 mm shorty suits. In fact, many locals dive with just a t-shirt and swimming shorts.
Most of Guam`s best diving points are reached by boat. Upon arriving at a dive site there are mooring buoys for the boats to tie up. These mooring buoys have nylon lines decending down to the bottom at depths that average 20 to 50 feet deep. Those of you that have a problem equalizing your ears will appreciate the added comfort of holding on to a clean nylon line on your way down to the bottom.
The caves and caverns can be found on both sides of BA Beach. The one cave on the South side is the largest and has several branches to follow to it`s inner maze. The top of the cave can be seen from the outside and is easily apparent on the surface as the boat approaches. The depth of the entire cave is very shallow, 10 to 20 feet depending on tide. Inside you can see zillions of silver fish flashing back and forth. Back in the darker sections, anything can lurk (ghosts?). Oh well, exploring the cave is a blast and only three things to worry about: (1.) Your air supply (2.) Your way back to the light (3.) The lime growth on the rocks that eats your fingers and knees while scraping your bald head. Taking a photo shot from inside the cave looking out is fantastic. Leaving this cave you can swim down a short ways to another cavern that you can surface in. This one has a break going deeper into the cave but you must remove your gear and drag it behind you to squeeze through. I don`t recommend anyone do this but we have found some beautiful shells inside. On the North side of BA Beach is another very cool cave. Nothing on the surface tells you there is a cave there. As you enter, there is a sand patch leading the way to the back. As you get toward the back of the cave you will start to see a thermocline forming in the layers of water. The water`s temperature will get colder and colder until you can barely stand it. Taking your regulator out of your mouth you can taste fresh water! This is because a fresh water stream pours into the cave and seeps through the walls especially after a rain. Turning around it gets warm again and taking the regulator out of your mouth will give you the good old familiar blast of saltwater. None of these cave are deep or lengthly, however they do present an overhead environment and are considered dangerous. Not for anyone confined to a non overhead diving plan.
Location description: Double Reef (Clownfish Rock area) Located on the Northern sector of Guam. It`s kind of a hideaway cove that is protected from the winter winds most of the time. Getting there may be another story, especially coming up the coast from Agana Marina or Apra Harbor. There is a frontal protective reef that lies around the outer edge of this neat little point. This reef lies just below the surface and if you don`t know where it is, don`t be zooming 90 mph across the water in your boat. At times it`s only inches deep. Mooring your boat on the inside of this reef there are many sand patches below. Dropping an anchor in a sand patch is preferable than breaking up the coral. In the middle of the largest sand area (at about 50 feet) is a small reef/rock about the size of a small bedroom and rises about 3 feet from the sand. As you are swimming toward the rock (from the old mooring) you will see a semi overhang on either side of the reefs going South. Within the rock you will find a large sea anemone and it`s swamped with hundreds of clownfish. A medium size octopus was also there the last time I visited there. If you`re careful and swimming very low in the sand you will come upon a maze of garden eels when approaching clownfish rock from the North. Don`t breath excessively as your regulator bubbles will scare the eels back down their holes. Pretend you`re a sniper and crawl along the sand until you can get close to the eels for a good camera shot. Going North from the rock along the left side of the large towering reef the slope gradually drops off. Deeper and deeper and soon you will come upon some neat cracks and mini crevices that are home to all kinds of colorful fish. The drop-off is so very gradual that you have to swim several hundred yards to get down to 100 feet. At 100 feet you will come to the end of the reef and look out into a sand covered outerspace. I like it down there and I have seen some big sharks, napoleanfish, grouper, and a stingray. When your deep time is up, head back up the big reef instead of following your previous decent in the sand (Go to the left). The reef is covered with tons of interesting stuff and the incline will bring you up to shallower water faster. When you finally reach the area around the boat don`t stop there unless you`re very low on air. Instead head East and comb over all the small sand patches and cracks for shells, octopus, nuibranch and small pufferfish. You will come across some unusual white spotted moray eels and maybe even run into dolphins if you`re extremely lucky. It`s happened to me a few times but I never had my camera with me.
