Remote Guam drift dive with cavern, current, and big fish
Remote Guam drift dive with cavern, current, and big fish
Pati Point is a remote north Guam boat dive for experienced divers, built around an exposed reef slope and cavern features that favor drift-style planning. The site sits inside a marine preserve and usually rewards calm windows with clear water, strong current, and frequent barracuda, sharks, turtles, jacks, and other large fish. Plan it as a serious outer-reef dive, not a casual reef stop.

Scuba Diving
Best for experienced scuba divers who are comfortable with strong current, exposed water, and cavern-style terrain.
Freediving
Not recommended for freediving; current, depth, and access make it a poor fit for routine breath-hold dives.
Snorkeling
Not a routine snorkel site; exposed water and current make it a poor choice except in unusually calm conditions.
