Dive-site story
Located along Guam's western coast near Orote, Shark's Pit is an offshore drop-off centered around a dramatic sandy bowl and coral plateau. Divers descend along coral ridges that plunge into deeper blue water, where pelagic species cruise alongside resident bottom-dwellers. Oceanic currents sweep past the point, bringing clean water and steady pelagic action.
Encounters with resting whitetip reef sharks along the sandy depression
Steep drop-offs covered in hard corals and gorgonian fans
Frequent flybys by pelagic fish such as jacks and barracuda
