Dive-site story
Located on the southeastern coast of Saipan, Lau Lau Beach provides reliable shore diving over an expansive reef system. Divers wade across a shallow reef flat before descending along hard coral formations that transition into sandy plains. The site holds large aggregations of schooling fish alongside resident macro critters.
Schooling bigeye scad frequently forming dense bait balls over the reef edge
Regular encounters with green sea turtles resting on coral heads
Sandy bottom patches hosting colonies of garden eels and benthic gobies
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Calmer seas during the dry season offer easiest entry and exit across the reef flat.
