    Kosrae is Micronesia's most remote destination, and can be described as an unblemished garden of flowers, palms and citrus trees where the clear, clean seas that surround it are home to healthy and diverse coral reefs.

Kosrae has spectacular fringing reefs that completely encircle the island. The abundance of marine life and pristine hard corals is impressive.

One of Kosrae's greatest attractions is the clear, clean ocean and living coral reefs that completely surround it. Offshore the coral reefs slope steeply into the clear blue depths. Both vertical drop offs and undulating profiles of cascading corals appear before you as underwater visibility averages 100 feet plus, The reefs comprise hundreds of densely packed coral species, attracting an abundance of marine life. A diver could observe 30 to 50 species of fish in a single dive. Large numbers of turtles inhabit the waters of this island paradise.

Kosrae is located roughly half way between Hawaii and Guam in Micronesia.There are 42 miles of reefs and walls in which to dive on. We have over 50 mooring buoys around the Island so the pristing coral is never damaged, average visability is 100ft + with both large and small tropical fish which makes for excellent photography.We dive all year as there is always a sheltered side to escape the trade winds.
