Asan Cut

Submitter Comments:
Advanced dive (or higher cert.), due to very rough conditions on entry/exit. Dive itself is pleasant, as you can see a variety of sea life to include sharks, rays, lion fish, and stone fish to name a few. Visibility is average ranging from 20-60 ft most days. Recommend that you wear rash guard/gloves (especially for exiting the site) due to heavy surge/currents. It is also recommended not to dive this site until you have an instructor/guide to take you there first.
Directions:
Drive down Marine Drive heading south until you enter Asan. There will be a tee-shirt store on the right (just before memorial park). Dive site is right behind the store.

03/20/2008 Shirley Schmidt (Avg: 2.31 Review) - July is the best month of the year to dive this site but you need to time it about one hour before a high or a very low tide. Just be aware that very strong currents can occur here and pull you out to sea.
10/30/2007 Bill Stohler (Avg: 3.23 Review) - I was forewarned by a local Chamorran resident not to dive here. Apparently, several US military folks were swept out to sea through the 'cut' during a period of large waves. If that isn't enough to deter you (it wasn't for me)...enter the parking lot just to the right of the National park, and park at the end of the lot on the right (facing the water). Gear up, then hike (on a really calm day, when the fishermen are standing in the water at the edge of the cut) over the really shallow (1-2' deep) reef to the edge of the cut. Do a quasi-giant stride, then you're in the 'cut' or channel...and swim on out to sea. The entry and exit are a lot of work, even on a calm day, in the hot and humid Guam weather! Interesting dive, and I'd probably do it again if I lived there!
