Sharks Pit: boat-accessed WWII pinnacle and macro site.
Sharks Pit is a boat dive on Guam's Orote Peninsula where a dramatic pinnacle and WWII-era debris create a deep, history-rich macro site. The structure rises sharply toward the reef top, so the dive feels like a slow scan over relief rather than a flat reef swim. It suits divers who are comfortable with deeper water and want clear water, sea fans, and plenty to inspect.

Scuba Diving
A deeper pinnacle dive with a macro payoff, best for divers who are comfortable slowing down and staying precise on buoyancy.
