    Mwand Pass offers a drift dive through a wide channel on Pohnpei’s outer reef. We often find schooling barracuda and grey reef sharks here, cruising against the current. It's a relaxed drift, making it suitable for divers comfortable with moderate currents, though conditions can pick up. Keep an eye out for eagle rays gliding past.

    Safety Notes

    Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
