Pohnpei

Pohnpei, the capital city of the Federated States of Micronesia, is a stunningly beautiful island with a rich history. The island of Ponhpei is surrounded by a barrier reef. At points in the reef there are channels to the sea that bring nutrients in, and as a result the biodiversity is very high. Divers can choose from a wide variety of dive settings thanks to the large lagoon and numerous passes. Sharks, manta rays, schools of trevallies, and barracuda, as well as the amazing reef ecosystems that support them, can be seen at each pass.

Pohnpei is a tranquil island with pristine dive sites where you can see manta rays, sharks, sea turtles, and barracudas while exploring miles of coral. The enchanting underwater walls and dropoffs are dotted with sea anemones, soft corals, and colorful gorgonian sea fans. A short boat trip can be taken to Ant and Pakin, two neighboring atolls that exude the aura of untouched paradise. The true meaning of pristine diving is revealed here.
