The northeast corner of Saipan is a natural cave connected to the Pacific Ocean, rated as the world's second-best diving spot by the "Diver" magazine. The Blue Hole looks like an open-mouthed dolphin from the outside, but inside it is a huge stalactite cave. The shadows of the rocks attract more underwater creatures, including a variety of colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, devilfish, dolphins, jellyfish, sea urchins, etc., making it even more vibrant than the underwater world. The Blue Hole has two natural swimming pools inside, connected to the outside ocean through underwater channels.

Obyan Beach is located on the south side of Saipan Island, with a depth of about fifteen meters for shore diving. The gently sloping terrain, formed by reef plates and white sandy areas, provides excellent visibility that is as clear as a crystal palace. In addition to the coral reef fish on the reef plates, groups of garden eels can also be seen on the sandy areas. It is recommended to have someone guide and lead the way due to the difficult entry and exit points. It is great for snorkeling and beginner divers.

Forbidden Island, located southeast of Saipan Island, is a semi-island: it is separated from Saipan Island during high tide, but remains partially connected during low tide. Due to its unique geographical location, the island has very few traces of human presence, with its beaches covered in various shells and corals washed up by the sea.
In ancient times, whenever there was a prolonged period without rain, the indigenous people would select a suitable strong man and bring him to the Forbidden Island. They would decapitate him and throw his head into the sea as a sacrifice to the sky gods, praying for rain.
This semi-island is truly a natural wonder that leaves people in awe!
