Nautilus Divers describes Kosrae as a local day-boat destination for hard-coral gardens, reef-edge drifts and vertical walls, with sites selected on the sheltered side when wind changes. The Kosrae HPO identifies operator-served reefs around Walung, Utwe and Okat, while Nautilus documents Hiroshi Point and Walung Drop-Off. Protected beginner options may be available, but the outer walls and current-assisted profiles require individual assessment. This is not a liveaboard expedition or an assured wreck-penetration destination.

Hiroshi Point
A named Nautilus dive site where coral cover and relief differ from the island's denser reefs.
Walung Drop-Off
An operator-described mooring approach above hard coral followed by a reef edge with descending tiers.
Trochus Sanctuary
Nautilus describes shoreward crevices used by turtles and invertebrates.
Split Rock
The operator highlights a split coral head and small subjects.
Shark Island
The local dive site page describes a drift along a soft-coral wall; the name is not evidence of predictable shark encounters.
The Jacks
The projecting reef ridge is described by Nautilus at 30 m at its crest, making this a site for appropriately qualified divers, not a casual beginner default.
Plane Wreck (operator listing)
Nautilus lists a site named Plane Wreck, and the state HPO mentions harbor wrecks, but no current permission, safe penetration route, depth or technical support was verified.
