Dive into Fall Colors in the South Pacific
KOSRAE, Micronesia- In parts of the world fall brings golden aspens, ruby maples, and terracotta maples front and center. This autumn after you’ve had your fill of pretty leaves and the winds turn cold, head to the South Pacific for a new interpretation of fall colors. Kosrae Island is a diver and snorkeler’s paradise. Just below the Pacific’s cerulean surface, tropical fish, pristine hard coral reefs, turtles, rays, even friendly sharks are ready to show their colors.
Novice divers can watch for octopi, shrimp, and reef fish amongst the Walung Coral Gardens. Nearby the Walung Drop Off showcases resident schools of rainbow runners and barracuda with surprises hidden between the coral heads. World class snorkeling is to the east at Hiroshi Point where schools of parrotfish and eagle rays swim amidst the large hard corals. Technical divers are invited to help with a 150 ft. deep island circumnavigation goal and discover new wonders.
On the island Kosrae Village, a local eco-lodge and dive shop, offers a Divers Delight package. The package includes 6-nights, 7-days accommodations, 4 days diving- including 1 night day, and Nitrox (training included if needed) for under $1000! For those new to diving, the dive shop also provides PADI certification. This fall experience the colors and adventures of the South Pacific and Kosrae Village.
