Pohnpei is a laid back diving destination. Lots of passes, drop-offs and the outer atolls and best of all, hardly any divers in the water. For most of the dives, your small group will be the only one you will see out there. Not to mention top-notch, world-class diving at the outer atolls, with many places to dive a short 10-minute boat cruise away.

Save a dive day for Marine Protected Area, Ant Atoll. On an incoming tide, divers will get treated to a drift dive paradise. Slowly drifting through the winding channel marine life clings and hangs to the sides of the walls creating a new colourful mosaic from hard and soft coral. Divers find mixed species of schooling fish around each bend while sharks patrol, ending the dive near a manta ray cleaning station. In between diving, enjoy sitting on white sandy beaches for lunch, or taking a stroll along the shore, you might even play a game of checkers with guards stationed there to protect the MPA.

The Pohnpei manta ray population has over 100 different individuals, but it is thought to be much larger. So far, 40% are black morphs manta rays nicknamed the Pohnpei black beauties. Black morph manta rays are just a different colouration – all black with individual unique white pattern blotches on their bellies. Local legends claim they are the gatekeepers and guardians of the ancient ruins of Nam Madol. This legend might have started due to the third cleaning station located on the reef just outside the entrance of Nam Madol.
