Dive Sites
Kosrae has a stunning fringing reef. Because of this spectacular
reef, they often say that there is one dive site, 43 miles
(70 kilometres) around. The abundance of marine life and
particularly the pristine hard corals make this place special.
Many of the best dive sites have mild currents and are good
for novice divers. This coral reef is unique in that novice
divers can enjoy an easy diving experience too.

Features
The resort itself is built using traditional village methods
hundreds of years old. The result is an a beautiful architecture
ancient in its planning, yet comfortable in it's practicality.
Traditionally, the construction of a "Kosraen lohm"
or house begins by burying four huge corner posts six feet
or more in the ground. These posts give the house its strength.
As additional framing is added the entire structure is held
together by strong coconut fibre twine woven in intricate
knots around the timbers. The floor is raised above the
ground to allow the easy flow of cooling tropical breezes.
The peak of the steeply pitched thatch roof is 20 feet off
the ground, easily shedding rain and encouraging cooling
air currents.
Accommodation
The traditional Micronesian style bungalows are situated
under the shade of mangrove, pandanus and coconut trees
at the ocean's edge and interconnected by paths of naturally
hard packed sand. Strategically placed torches provide night
lighting along the paths.
Although the look is traditional and construction interesting,
modern amenities are not missing. The bungalows have queen
size beds (draped in mosquito netting), ceiling fans, electricity,
hot and cold running water, a large table, chairs, in-room
refrigerator and coffee making facilities.
Dive Shop
Two dive boats are available, each takes a maximum of six
divers. They have two large compressors in the dive shop.
Kosrae Village offers Nitrox. Certified divers can try a
Nitrox experience, while certified Nitrox Divers have the
option of using Nitrox an additional charge.
Activities
Hike through the dense rainforests that cover the slopes
of Kosrae's mountains, explore the sea coast and mangrove
swamps in a kayak, visit ancient Micronesian or World War
II ruins, take your binoculars and go bird watching or snorkel
or surf.
