Banzai Cliff
A wall dive at Saipan's northern end for experienced divers, with sharks, rays, large tuna and anemones along a drop that goes far beyond sport depth (the wall is listed from 15 m to 116 m). Accessible only in a short calm window, roughly May to September, because of strong currents and high waves.
