Guam’s one-of-a-kind underwater observatory is announcing a major milestone as they’re moving forward with much needed renovations to improve visitor experience. 

Fish Eye Marine Park is set to replace eight viewing windows of the underwater observatory, improving visibility of the beautiful and abundant sea life surroundings. 

The replacement project is scheduled to begin on Sept. 1, 2025, with completion expected by Sept. 14, just in time for the Fish Eye Marine Park’s 30th Anniversary celebration.

“The Observatory has always been the heart of Fish Eye,” said Akihiro Tani, General Manager of Fish Eye Marine Park. “As we approach our 30th year, we want to ensure the experience remains just as magical as it was for our very first guests. This project is our way of honoring the past while investing in the future.”

The project is finally blooming to life after an unfortunate delay due to COVID-19.

“Replacing underwater glass at this scale takes precision, planning, and care,” added Frank Benavente, Fish Eye Project Manager. “Each panel is custom fit and must be sealed to withstand underwater pressure all while ensuring minimal disruption to the marine ecosystem surrounding the observatory.”

Tani added, “The eight new windows will provide pristine views of Piti Bay’s thriving coral reef and marine life. We invite everyone to return when we reopen to experience our enhanced Underwater Observatory.”

“We take pride in creating memorable experiences that showcase the best of Guam,” added Tani. “And with the observatory’s new windows, we’re giving our guests the clearest view yet of what makes this place so special.”
