Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Piti Bomb Holes Preserve

At the end of the pier is a round, hollow building, with windows UNDER WATER. Entry into this building is not free, but is the ideal chance for non-swimmers to watch & photograph you while you're diving. Entry is via the beach, and a long walk in shallow water alongside the pier. Around 3/4 of the way out, the bottom becomes sandy and filled with pleasant finger corals. Light is abundant, and depths reach no more than 30'. You are more than welcome to "buzz" the windows of the manmade underwater building, and look at the displays set up on "windowsills" there. Excellent for non-divers, snorkelers, night diving...anything. Aside from the long walk through shallow water, this is a nearly perfect, utterly tame and safe, relaxing dive. Drive South-East from Tumon Bay. Pass Hagatna (the capitol city) and continue until you pass MDA, a large red barn like dive shop on the left side of the road. You'll see a looooong manmade pier on the right, and a large SCUBA/restaurant/wedding resort across the street from the pier. Along the beach adjacent to this pier is a ribbon like parking lot, adequate for 60 cars. There're pavilions with benches, and a stinky bathroom.

When driving down Route 1 (Marine Corp Drive), you will pass the War in the Pacific Memorial Park on the right. Piti (Fisheye) is just after that, again on the right. To avoid the large number of tourists diving, it is best to go in the early AM. Micronesia Diving Assoc. is just across the street and you can get your air or rental gear there. The rental crew is awesome and really helped us. There are often a bunch of needlefish which are mistaken for barracuda. Under the observatory is a sandy bottom, and there is an abundance of activity on the sills of the windows. Overall, this is a great easy-dive. I would recommend watching the tide chart, and going out about an hour before high-tide. That will help with the sometimes LONG walk in!
