Kosrae

KOSRAE (kosh-rye) 
Like Pohnpei (and unlike anywhere else in Micronesia) have high mountain rain forests whose peaks are often shrouded in a cloud layer. This island is truly beautiful!  If you looking for an out of the way dive holiday where there is a good chance that you & your friends will be the only visitors on the dive boat, or dive site for that matter, this is the place to go.  The water is crystal clear; nearly all dives are a leisurely drift with the boat waiting for you as you surface.
The hard corals here are huge & some of the healthiest you'll find anywhere. The air fare may cost a little more, but that nearly guarantees you won't be fighting the crowds in & out of the water
