Diving the Mwand Pass

Head to the northern end of the island to find the vast majority of dive sites in Pohnpei. If you are looking for the best to see the majestic resident manta rays on a daily basis, this is it. Pohnpei’s most famous dive site and the best place to see manta rays is Manta Road. Here, you can find the Black Morph variety, cruising back and forth through the channel as they feed. Drift diving is also common in this site, as the currents flowing through the channel can be very strong.
