There are many dive sights around Rota, Saipan, and Tinian, though the dive operators will only take you to the most convenient ones unless you request specific locations and you have a laMaenough group of divers who want to see the same spot. Also, most tourists to the CNMI are Japanese so you will not find much information online that is in English. Below is a list of the most commonly visited sites and some dive shops that might be helpful to English-speakers:
