Best for advanced divers, 17-30m, boat entry, strong current.
Ant Atoll Northwest Wall is a dramatic drop-off located off Pohnpei, Micronesia. The reef structure begins at approximately 17 metres and descends into open water well beyond 30 metres. Divers experience strong, shifting currents and significant surge, making this an advanced site requiring boat access. Visibility is variable, ranging from 15 to 50 metres. Due to the exposed nature of the wall and potential for strong currents to push divers away from the vessel, a surface marker buoy is essential for every dive. The site is best suited for experienced divers comfortable with drift conditions and open-water environments.
