If you've ever looked north from Andersen Air Force Base on a clear day and caught glimpse of a mysterious isle floating 40 miles out, you have seen Rota. Known as 'The Peaceful Isle,' Rota or Luta, is the southernmost island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Having been to Saipan and Tinian several times, I recently decided to pay Rota a visit and put its legendary sightseeing and dive sites to the test. I was not disappointed. Rota is conveniently served by both Arctic Air and United Air from Guam almost every day of the week, and is only a short 25-minute hop from Wan Pat International to Rota International Airport.
