Boat-first Guam turtle site with a steep drop-off.
Turtle Rock is a boat-first Guam dive around a rocky islet with a steep drop-off, clear water, and regular turtle encounters. Shore access via Navy Base Guam exists, but the site is easier and safer by boat, especially when you want to manage current, keep the swim short, and focus on wide-angle reef and turtle time with a steadier framing setup.
