Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
The official MVA visitor page currently identifies a USD $5 nonresident Grotto Dive Site fee; its payment methods and collection points should be reconfirmed with Parks and Recreation, since an operator page differs on whether cards are accepted. A Managaha ferry operator says the landing fee is separate from the boat fare, but no current official land/landing amount was independently established. There is no verified blanket Saipan tourism levy or universal marine-park diver tag in the sources reviewed. American Memorial Park is free. Treat old operator dive and boat price menus as unconfirmed, not present-day quotes. MVA; MSC; ferry; NPS.
