I sure am Guam_Diver! Down in the big metropolis of Agat 
There are actually a couple Guam residents on the board..I'm sure you will meet them along the way. How long have you been on island? Which shop do you normally dive with? If you need a dive buddy, let me know.

I've been here for about 8 months now. I've gone out a few times with MDA.....is that where you work? And I'm doing the deep blue water dive out over the REALLY deep water and the Tokai Maru wreck this Sunday with GTDS. Is that Rick you're with in your pic? I dove with him a few months ago....at cemetary wall...I think his name was Rick. Anyway, I'm sure it was the guy in your pic! Hey, do you know where I can get a Cressi sub Big Eyes mask on the island? I wanna try one on for size!
See ya around.....

Guam_Diver...yep, I work at MDA. I'm upstairs in the wholesale department. Actually, I've been trying to get in touch with Cressi-Sub about becoming a dealer (there isn't one on Guam) but so far no response. As soon as I hear something, I'll let you know.
The guy in the picture is Mark, but if you went on one of the MDA beach dives on the weekend, that was him! He loves that site. Gab Gab gets pretty old fast, as I'm sure you know Hey, have you ever dived Piti Channel at night? That is probably the best night dive on the island (from the shore at least). Its a little nursery, and you see baby everything! If you're into photography, its one of the best places. In the daytime..there's nothing but sand and sea cucumbers though.
Neve, when you get your plans finalized, let us know! You will love Guam!

Since we're talking about Guam...
When is the best time of the year to dive Guam? The guidebooks says it's year-round diving there, but there must be a particular time when the water & weather is just perfect....
Scubabunny: I sure will!

Actually Neve, diving is pretty good all year round, but May thru Aug. are when the sea on the western side (where most of the dive sites are) are the flatest. During these months, the boat can make it up to the northern site, and down south to the eastern site pretty regularly. The rest of the year, the swells are just too big.
There is one reef 11 miles off shore (called...11 mile reef ), and the boats only attempt this trip in the summer. So far this year, our shop has done 3 dives there and the conditions have been great!
But, even if you come in the middle of winter, the diving will still be wonderful!
