ABOUT GTDS
Established in 1992, Guam Tropical Dive Station has earned its title as one of the major dive centers on Guam. John and Paula Bent bought what used to be Guam Divers and renamed the store Guam Tropical Dive Station, better known as GTDS. The two Australians are very involved with island happenings and it's almost impossible to get Paula to stop adopting pets. Many of our employees go home with animals found in the parking lot. John is known for his knowledge of decompression diving and his excavation of the Pilar, a Spanish Galleon. In 2005, GTDS took on a business partner, Yasuhiro Maeda, from Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Maeda is married to Mrs. Masako Maeda with two excited children Sayaka & Shusuke, attending St. Johns School in Upper Tumon. Mr. Maeda is a great addition to the GTDS family, which leaves John & Paula traveling to Australia to see Grandson Remington.
