Why dive here
With 313+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, octopuses, sperm whales and whitetip reef sharks - Manta Road offers some of Pohnpei's richest diving.
Manta Road in Pohnpei lives up to its name, a channel where mantas frequently cruise through. We often see them passing by, sometimes lingering at cleaning stations along the sandy bottom. Currents here can be significant, so it's best for divers comfortable with drift diving and managing their buoyancy in moving water. It’s a great spot if you’re hoping for close encounters with these gentle giants.
