Saipan, which was the site of fierce battles in the Pacific War, has many remains of underwater battles (wrecks and sunken ships).
These underwater battlefields are called wreck points in diving, and are gaining popularity around the world as points where you can see a spectacular view that is different from normal diving.
In order to preserve for future generations the ruins of this underwater battle, which is left on the seabed of Saipan and decays little by little over time, Saipan diving guides cooperated with underwater archaeologist Dr. Kotaro Yamafune to create a 3D model based on photographs. I am challenging "underwater photogrammetry" to create

Diving paradise "Mariana" has many diving points.
Did you know that among the many diving points, there is a point on the north side of Saipan that can only be dived in this summer season?
In winter, the wind from the north blows enough for windsurfing, but in summer it weakens and the sea becomes calm.
The point where you can get closer when the sea conditions start to settle down is only in the summer.
Diving in Saipan, such as "Spotlight" where light extends straight as the name suggests, "Banzai" where you can enjoy fish shadows and topography, and "Wing Arch & Wing Crevasse" where you can see completely different expressions even though the points are next to each other. A guide will guide you through the summer-only points on the north side of Saipan Island.

Would you like to observe coral spawning in Saipan this summer?
The spawning forecast date for 2023 has also been released!
In Saipan, local diving instructors have played a central role for several years, and persistent observation and consideration have been continued to identify the spawning season of corals. As a result, we have been able to guide customers on coral spawning tours since last year. Of course, it's a natural phenomenon, so we can't guarantee 100% compensation, but last year there was a high probability that we could enjoy it together with our customers, so we have high expectations for this year as well.
Massive coral spawning is expected this year on July 9th and August 7th.
Why don't you have a mysterious diving experience at night in Saipan this year? Details below!

It's June. Every Saturday in Saipan, the biggest food festival in Mariana, "Taste of Mariana", starts.
It is an event that locals look forward to every year, and at the venue, selected menus from restaurants and hotels are sold. In addition to food booths, there are stalls selling local handicrafts and crafts, live performances on stage, various contests, and various event programs. (Ina's Kitchen) Chicken Wing Eating Contest will be held.
It's an event where you can enjoy local food and live performances as a memory of your trip, so if you're in Saipan on Saturday, please come and visit us. The place is a plaza called Fishing Base in Garapan where hotels are lined up.
Typhoon Mawa hit Guam the other day. Hotels, restaurants and activities are open as usual in Marianas without major damage.
If you are planning to travel to Saipan next month, please do not worry!
However, it is very important to be prepared for emergencies, as the old saying goes, "If you are prepared, you will not have to worry."
During this typhoon, flights were disrupted, and many people were stranded at the site because their return flights were canceled. In such a case, we recommend that you add compensation for flight delay costs to your overseas travel insurance as an option. Before departure, if the time of travel is likely to be hit by a typhoon, it is a good idea to enter just in case. Especially from now until September, it will be the typhoon season, so it is not to be underestimated.
Please take a moment to think about how to reduce unexpected expenses.
