Dive center

Guam Tropical Dive Station

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Established in 1992, Guam Tropical Dive Station has earned its title as one of the major dive centers on Guam.

John and Paula Bent bought what used to be Guam Divers and renamed the store Guam Tropical Dive Station, better known as GTDS. John is known for his knowledge of decompression diving and his excavation of the Pilar, a Spanish Galleon.

We are located on the beautiful island of Guam. You are probably wondering where is Guam? Located in the Western Pacific, across the International Date Line at 13°28" north latitude and 114°45" east longitude. It is the largest of more than 2,000 islands scattered between Hawaii and the Philippines. On Guam there are only two seasons; wet and dry. So it is a perfect place for diving!
