StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

West Coral Pass is where Majuro really flexes its muscle. We love a good pass dive, and this one delivers that exhilarating rush. Drop in at the mouth and let the current carry you into the lagoon. It's less a drift and more like being shot through a confetti canon of fusiliers and snapper. You’ll feel the water surge, pushing you past coral bommies absolutely swarming with fish. We’ve seen Blacktip reef sharks cruising the deeper edges, and the schools of Humphead unicornfish are just immense. Keep an eye out for the Orange-lined triggerfish, they’re particularly bold here, often finning right up to you. It’s not a dive for the faint-hearted if the current is ripping, but if you’re comfortable with some speed, it’s pure adrenaline. The sheer volume of fish is what makes it a standout.
