How to pet a live moray!

 

"Special content dive videos."  It's fun to put together divers and have them do some unusual things.  It doesn't work quite as well with critters.  These are videos with an entirly different perspective on life.

 

In the old days "Air Mike" was the only airline that flew to the islands on a regular schedule.  They started with seaplanes, dc-6 prop planes, short coral runways, and then joined the jet age with Nuju and Juju.  Every trip was an adventure.

 

What happened to the Japanese Zero at Umatac?  We've got video and pictures of it.    Did you know that there is another Zero in Apra Harbor?  You have to search a little to find out.

 

Are there any good undeerwater photographers here on Guam?  There sure are and we've got  some of their work here.  

A spastic whiskered pipefish?  Yes.   What happens underwater in an earthquake?  All of these are right here

 

Are you planning for a trip or trying to decide where to go?  Thinking about going to other Micronesian islands or elsewhere in the Pacific?  There's lots of info here

 

Over 100 different videos taking you all over Guam and the western Pacific. And they're all absolutely free to see in high quality.  If you're going to travel in the region take a look.  They might help you decide.
This shark decided to try and eat a strobe.  MDA's Jim Miller was on the other end of the strobe.    

 

 

 

Just how much do you know about our waters here?  Here's a mixture of a lot of stuff that most divers don't know. Everything here is as factual as I can make it.   Well.....maybe not the shark thing!

Q: How many ships were in Apra Harbor after Guam was recaptured?  Five? Ten?  You'll be surprised.

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?  That a complete WW2 Japanese Zero was found behind George Washington School?
Q: Was there another shipwreck on the east side of Guam?  The answer is "yes" and it was huge! DID YOU KNOW?  That there's a cave that starts in the ocean and comes out in the jungle?
Q: DO YOU KNOW who built the old fuel piers on Naval Station and the breakwater?  Lots of people think the Japanese did.  But.......

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW That there's still a ship in the harbor that hasn't been found yet?

DID YOU KNOW?  That a huge ocean liner drifted into Apra Harbor and sunk? True story, and Guam divers were on it immediately!

New photos of the salvage operations have been added Feb 21, 2011.

Diving in Currents. On some dives you have no choice but to dive in a current. But "going with the flow" can be really enjoyable. Go here to find out all about it
Boat Diving Tips If you haven't been on a boat, or need some reminders on how to enjoy them more. Here's some very good ones from other divers.

 

 

 

"What's the diving on Guam like compared to other places?"  Is it really 80% better than most places? We've got the answers.
"I just finished my class. What do I really need to know?" Here's some no nonsense info direct from experienced divers.  You just might be surprised at their comments.    DO YOU KNOW? That you should leave your buddy in a shark attack? Sound bizarre? Read on!
Are your underwater pix pretty much a disaster? Are you convinced that the little point and shoot camera you bought is responsible for the crappy pictures you take?  I can improve your shots and it won't cost you a penny.  All ya gotta do is read.  

Does the "Buddy System" really work. The gospel of diving for years has been to rely on the buddy system, but maybe, just maybe,you should re think it a little.  The answer is NOT what you think it!

Can you really sneak up on BIG critters? They can sneak up on us, but how can we reverse it?   MDA general manager Jim Miller was "right on the money".
