If you are the kind of person who thinks that simply diving off the reefs at Cocos Island or from a boat off Gab Gab Beach is too mild for you, then head for Underwater World in Tumon for something that goes a few notches higher on the thrill scale – diving with sharks!
Underwater World is one of the longest tunnel aquariums in the world and houses marine life native to the waters around Guam and the Marianas. While a walk through the glass tunnel is a great way to observe the animals, there’s nothing like getting up close and personal with the sharks that live here with a dive to the bottom of the exhibit. And it’s not just sharks, five species of which, you will meet here. You can also have a cozy tête-à-tête with giant sea turtles, groupers, guitarfish, massive stingrays and schools of other tropical reef fish.
The dive to a maximum depth of twelve feet lasts about one and a half hours and is conducted in a safe and monitored atmosphere. Except for your diving mask, Underwater World insists on providing all your diving gear, including wetsuits, and this is to ensure the safety of both the visitors and the animals.
If you wish to dive with sharks, you are required to be PADI certified and a medical clearance also needs to be submitted before the dive.
Since this is such a popular attraction and only a small number of divers are allowed per day, Underwater World suggests you to book your spot at least twenty-four hours in advance. Underwater World provides safety lockers and showers for your convenience.
So now that we have provided you with the details, set a date for your rendezvous with one of the most magnificent creatures on earth and book your room at Days Inn Guam, the best hotel in Guam.
Underwater World is just minutes away from Days Inn Guam, which is conveniently located, close to a host of other attractions too.
