Manta Road is a famous channel dive located within the barrier reef of Pohnpei. The topography consists of a wide, sandy-bottomed channel punctuated by coral heads that serve as active cleaning stations. Divers typically position themselves along the sandy channel floor or hook in along the edges to watch pelagics hover effortlessly above the coral bommies while cleaner wrasses attend to them.

Located off the southwest barrier reef of Pohnpei, Pehleng Corner marks the oceanic junction where the outer wall meets a deep passage. Divers drift along steep coral drop-offs exposed to open ocean currents, watching for schools of pelagic fish and patrolling sharks. The wall features dense formations of hard corals, sea fans, and sponges stepping down into oceanic depths.
