♦ Shipwreck Dives

Apra Harbor is a scuba diver’s paradise! This is especially true of divers who are fascinated by U.S. History. In fact, Apra Harbor is home to a set of two side-by-side shipwrecks (one from World War I, and the other from World War II). A short 10-minute boat ride off the coast of Guam, and one tank of oxygen will grant you the ability to explore these underwater wrecks for yourself (although some dive shops provide two tanks). You only need to dive about 100 feet to be able to view the remains of these vessels. If you have enough time and are interested in partaking in more diving expeditions, you might consider doing a coral reef dive, which will truly give you a deeper understanding of Guam’s marine life.

If you’re looking to escape to a calm, peaceful beach setting, put aside some time to spend in Nat Park Asan Beach. You will discover plenty of beautiful open space, crystal clear waters (filled with many kinds of fish), and a Pacific War memorial.

A quick hike brings you to the site, which includes plaques with information about the guns. The guns remain in their original placement and are in good condition for their age.
