Village Reef - This is a pristine and vibrant reef directly in front of the
Kosrae Village Resort. You’ll find large Staghorn coral, lots of swirling
anthias, large groupers and colorful angelfish and butterflyfish. The
reef slopes down gently from the shallows, offering good snorkeling
on calm days.
Lelu Current - Located at buoy 54, and formerly known as D’Urville
Point, this site is on a wide reef shelf and has many low-growing cor-
als. It can be subject to rough water during winter and can have strong
currents; boat entry only. Divers have reported sailfish in the area. The
point is a popular fishing spot.

Blue Hole - This site is accessible even in stormy weather. Within the
reef (maximum depth is 60 feet), you can see resident sting rays, large
numbers of juvenile fish, huge puffers, and whatever else comes over
the reef at high tide. Visibility varies. Walk or swim over the reef flat
for entry.
