Relax and stepping back in time to a slower, more peaceful way of life. It’s no surprise that the locals of Kosrae are often considered some of the friendliest people on earth. If you are looking for some of the most pristine diving destinations in the world, Kosrae is the perfect place for you; so much that you shouldn’t be surprised if you are one of the only people out on the dive boat. Shark diving is a preferred activity in Kosrae, and during your thrilling scuba diving adventure, you’ll encounter stingrays, mantas, dolphins, sharks, and eels, among many other species. Visibility in the region is very high, averaging over 100 feet (30 meters), as the waters surrounding this area are some of the cleanest and most transparent in the world. The outer reefs surrounding the island slope steeply into the deep blue and are covered in hundreds of densely packed hard coral species, as well as an abundance of marine life.
