Fouha Bay
Beginner-friendly reef-and-wreck dive at Fouha Bay
South Guam reef bay with boat or beach access, a shallow reef flat, and a WWII remnant that is easiest to enjoy from a calm, guided approach.
About Fouha Bay
Fouha Bay is a boat-accessed reef-and-wreck dive in south Guam. The site combines a gentle reef-flat slope, coral crevices, and WWII remnants, so it rewards a slow, beginner-friendly pace rather than a rushed swim. Plan for easy navigation, a compact route over the structure, and a calm-day approach that keeps the shore walk or surface swim from becoming the whole dive.
