Obyan is a sandy dive site on the southern side of Saipan, set along a white sand beach where the blue water and white sand give the site a calm look. It can be dived from the beach or from a boat, and it is open all year round.
The depth is 10 to 20 metres over a sand bottom. Garden eels can be seen on the sand, and the entry and exit need care because of rip currents.
Confirmed by our research team, reported by independent divers, or observed nearby via iNaturalist — each entry is labelled with its source.
