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.

Entrance to site is either side of the cemetery, but the south is less intrusive. Go to the pipe, but try to give the locals some room by parking close to the left of the pipe area. The walk out is a bit rough with varied levels of structure to cross. We followed the left side of the pipe out to the reef. Once you get to the reef expect the waves to increase and consider switching snorkel to reg. We headed a bit north of due west and looked for the sand and then went west. Found Amtrak immediately.
