Dive-site story
Located off the northern coast of Saipan near Wing Beach, Wing Crevasse features a dramatic geological fissure cutting deep into the volcanic limestone reef. Divers navigate through the vertical chasm, which opens out toward an oceanic drop-off where pelagic visitors often pass in the clear blue water. Swells and tidal flow can generate strong water movement across the reef crest.
Deep geological fissure flanked by towering vertical limestone walls
Frequent encounters with whitetip reef sharks resting on sandy patches inside the crevasse
Clear outer wall drop-off favored by eagle rays and passing tuna
