SAIPAN, EXPLORING the stunning COLLAPSED CAVE (GROTTO), Pacific Ocean ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a tour of the Grotto, Saipan's famous unique diving spot, a collapsed limestone cavern with a pool of cobalt-blue seawater filled by three underwater passageways. Sometimes the Grotto is calm and at other times powerful surges of water come whooshing in and out. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Saipan is the largest island of the Northern Mariana Islands, a commonwealth of the United States in the western Pacific Ocean. According to the 2010 United States Census, Saipan's population was 48,220.

The Grotto - Saipan - CNMI (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). When I first saw this place, it was just amazing! This place looks kind-of like a cave. An underwater cave or opening connects this place with the ocean. Very beautiful. This place is also dangerous; the waves on the sides are really strong at times. God's nature is truly wonderful.

Grotto Saipan | Freediving Experience
Saipan, Northern Marianas Islands. Saipan's Grotto is sometimes listed as one of the best scuba diving sites in the world. In terms of cavern dives, there is not much out there that can top it.
Visibility in The Grotto was far over 50m. In fact I reckon could see nearly 100 meters - the shot at 3:52 is a good example of that.
Overall, I really enjoyed Saipan. It's full of World War 2 history, from the Battle for Saipan - next time I would really like to dive some of the relics from the war.
With Saipan's Grotto completed, whats next? You can be sure this won't be my last visit to Micronesia. Stay tuned.
FLASHLIGHT USED:
--- WARNING TO THOSE PLANNING TO DIVE HERE ----
The Grotto has claimed the lives of at least 6 to 10 divers since 2001, with deaths in 2005, 2006, 2008, including the deaths of students, advanced divers, instructors and dive masters.
I don't want to be responsible for a case of monkey see monkey do. If you are planning to dive here - DO NOT SWIM OUTSIDE like I did. It's not about the distance or breath hold, its about the conditions outside. I swam out once, and I will never swim outside again. This video is edited to make it look like I was outside for a few seconds - the reality is I was stuck outside for around 10 minutes, with big waves pounding the cliff wall making it impossible to 'breath up' on the surface before going back in. Once you surface on the outside, its impossible to see the entrance to the grotto without first swimming down to about 6 or 7 meters. If the waves and current move you out of position just a few meters , you may never find your way back in. If you are stuck on the outside of the cliff, you'll have to make a 1.5km swim in fierce currents and pounding waves to make it to shore.
Also be aware that the exceptionally clear water gives you a false perception, and you may find you are way deeper and further into the cave than it looks.
I don't want anyone to kill themselves because of what they saw somebody do on youtube.

남국의 정취를 물씬 느끼고 나는 다음 여정지로 발걸음을 옮겼다. 남쪽 끝에서 북쪽 끝까지 섬을 가로 지르는데 차로 30분이면 충분하다. 사이판 북쪽 끝에서 동해안을 따라 복잡한 해안선이 이어져 있다. 육지 쪽으로 움푹 들어간 곳에 특별한 명소가 있다고 해서 찾아갔다. 계단을 백여 개 정도 내려갔을까? 해안 절벽 아래 자리한 수중 동굴이 나타났다. 사이판은 물론 북마리아나 제도, 최고의 다이빙 포인트로 손꼽히는 곳, 그로토. 신비로운 푸른빛이 감돈다. 이 장관을 보기 위해 수많은 사람들이 모인다. 파도의 높이에 따라 입장 제한이 있는데 오늘은 운이 좋았다.

I felt the tranquility of the southern country and I moved to the next itinerary. It takes 30 minutes by car to cross the island from the southern tip to the northern tip. At the northern end of Saipan, a complex coastline runs along the east coast. I went there because there were special attractions in the depressed land side. Did he go down about a hundred stairs? An underwater cavern beneath the coastal cliff appeared. Saipan as well as the Northern Mariana Islands, one of the best dive spots, A mysterious blue light drifts. A lot of people gather to see this minister. There is a limit on the entrance according to the height of the waves, but I was lucky today.

이곳의 매력은 푸르게 반짝이는 천연 다이빙 풀로 뛰어들 수 있다는 것. 수영을 하지 못하는 이들도 바다 속을 구경할 수 있다. 나도 스노쿨링에 도전해 봤다. 수중 마스크와 오리발만 있으면 가능하다. 그로토의 물속은 밖에서 봤을 때보다 더 찬란하고 오묘한 색을 숨기고 있었다. 동굴의 크기는 작았지만 수중에 바다로 연결된 3개의 구멍이 있어, 그 사이로 햇볕이 스며들면 바다 밑 풍경은 장관을 이룬다. 그로토의 환상적인 물빛은 이 구멍을 통해 만들어진다. 파도가 절벽에 부딪히는 입구와 달리 블루 그로토와 가까워질수록 물살은 잔잔해 진다. 20m의 수심을 가늠할 수 없을 정도로 맑다. 바다 속 인솔자가 우리를 위해 특별한 개인기를 보여준다. 이렇게 멋진 수중 테마 파크가 또 있을까? 자연이 선물해 준 바다 놀이터. 여행자들을 위해 종유석 절벽에 오른 원주민들이 또 하나의 볼거리를 선사한다. 원주민들의 안전 노하우가 숨겨져 있는 수사 다이빙은 사이판에서만 볼 수 있다. 찬란한 햇빛이 바다로 파고들며 만들어 내는 푸른색의 유혹. 나는 한동안 이 수중 동굴에서 벗어날 수가 없었다.

The charm of this place is that you can jump into a green glittering natural diving pool. Those who can not swim can also see the sea. I also tried snorkeling. Only underwater masks and flippers are possible. Grotto's water was hiding brighter and more subdued colors than when seen from the outside. The size of the cave is small, but there are three holes in the water that connect to the sea, and when the sunlight permeates, the scenery under the sea becomes spectacular. The fantastic light of Groot is made through this hole. Unlike the entrance where the waves hit the cliff, the water becomes calmer as it gets closer to the blue grotto. It is clear that the water depth of 20m can not be measured. A sea lion shows a special moment for us. Is there another such cool underwater theme park? The sea playground that nature gave you. Aboriginal people on the cliffs of stalactites offer another highlight for travelers. Investigative diving, where the safety know-how of Aboriginal people is hidden, can only be seen in Saipan. The lure of the blue color that the splendid sunlight pours into the sea. I could not escape from this underwater cave for a while.
