I am taking a different approach to dive getaways. I do not like groups and will do everything I can to avoid them. Private guiding & instruction offers a much, much better experience for the customer and I want you to have the ultimate experience. I offer hotel pick up and drop off for my customers. I offer a full range of scuba certifications from Discover Dive through Divemaster and everything in between. I am also a very experienced dive guide with over 15,000 dives on Saipan. I typically book up in advance, so if you want to dive with me, please make reservations ahead of time. We have also added 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, full kitchen, free laundry facilities, a big back deck with 8 seat table and an 8 person jacuzzi. I offer free airport pick up if you stay with us, free breakfast each morning & unlimited jacuzzi time. I have created what I would consider the ultimate dive experience & stay, it is what I would want if I were the customer.

There is a ferry out to this very small island. (One can walk the perimeter in 15 - 20 minutes.) There are two swimming beaches, the best snorkeling is at the beach which is the farthest from the dock. I saw the greatest variety of fish very close to the shore here. I also saw the largest fish of anywhere on the island (and I hit every beach). There is a souvenir store here which is nice if you forgot sun block, but nothing unique was sold here. There is also a very nice, reasonably priced snack bar, and a buffet lunch if you want to make a day of it.

One of the top five dive spots in the world. If you are a diver and you are coming to Saipan then you definitely have to do this

The road up to the top may be a tad intimidating for a mainlander but it is well worth it. The 360 degree view of the island is SO worth it. Just beautiful and inspiring to see the sparkling water surrounding this gorgeous island.

This is a very dated report as I was on the island 10 years ago After diving Australia my dive buddies flew home and I went on my own to Saipan for three days of exploring. Took an additional day trip over to Tinian via a small aircraft puddle jumper. I landed at the small airstrip that use to be the Japanese fighter base. Rented a car and drove all around the island looking for any WW II history. My father in law was an Engineer on a B 29 flying out of India / China and then out of Saipan and finally out of Tinian, so I wanted to bring back video for him. As I dove my rental car down one of the remaining B-29 runways I made a video for my father in law simulating what it may have looked like taking off back in 1945. I work at a Nuclear Power Plant in Wisconsin so I was very interested in viewing the two bomb pits. At the time of my visit there was no glass covering over the pits and I was able to drop down into one of the pits to view how the hydraulic lift mechanism was use to lift the bomb(s) up into the B-29 bomb bay. The second pit had been filled with dirt and there was a tree growing out of it (all now cleaned up and a second glass enclosure over it). Right near the bomb pits is the old WWII Japanese flight control building = very interesting. One of the B-29 American runways is in a remarkable status of preservation and is still used by some military groups for training. The second runway was filled with a holding area buildings for Chinese refugees that had fled China. The third runway was TOTALLY overgrown!

The hike will take 20-30 min so bring atleast 1liter of water. Better you go in low tide so the water is calm. Wear hiking shoes and gloves. Once you get there is a beautiful scenery. Just dont throw trash and dont leave it there.
