Manta Road - Pohnpei

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.
