Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Amtrak and Cemetery Wall

Drive to the back of the cemetery to the beach and enter the water left of the pipeline. You will see some coral rocks above water, jutting out from the pipeline. Drop down there and then, until you get familiar with the area, I suggest you hug the reef line to the right. To the left will be a sandy channel with many coral pillars and formations that you can check out. At about 45 to 50 feet, start looking for a large shadow in this sandy channel, which will be the Amtrak. This personnel carrier sunk in WWII was part of the U.S. invasion force that stormed the island in 1944. Even if you don't find the Amtrak, the reef is quite beautiful and worth exploring. On the way back, you can ascend and dive the edge of the reef flats to your left. This dive site is located down south in Agat on the back side of the cemetery.

Mapped this site for my PADI Dive Master requirement. This is an EXCELLENT site for snorkelers, beginners and up. Plenty to see. Tons of different fish including eels and lionfish. I've also seen rays, sea cucumbers and a shark. Perfect dive for day or night. From the coral pillar near the end of the pipeline, take a heading of 270 degrees (due West) and, after about 20 minutes of easy diving, you get to the Amtrak. On your way back, take a heading about 20 degrees to your right. When you get to the coral, turn left and you'll pass by a beautiful wall of soft coral.
