Apra Harbor wreck dive with barges, coral, and reef life.
Apra Harbor wreck dive with barges, coral, and reef life.
Boat access is typically arranged through local Guam dive shops.
Val Bomber (Wreck) is a boat dive in Apra Harbor with a Japanese Val bomber wreck lying against a sloping reef. It pairs a deep wreck profile with shallow barges and steady reef structure, making it a strong fit for advanced divers who want WWII history, coral growth, and a wide variety of reef life on one harbor run. Expect a conservative descent, a careful air plan, and a return up the reef slope after exploring the aircraft and nearby barges.
