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.

Yes, you park behind an actively used cemetery....we did get a few strange looks while gearing up at what is quite obviously a 'local's' place. Bit of a difficult entry and swim out...we did find the Amtrak with little difficulty. As usual, I was a bit overly enthusiastic in my quest to explore farther out...and nearly ran my less-experienced dive buddy out of air! Good dive!
