Dive-site story
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.
