Dive Sites

Although there are a host of charted dive sites and a program to discover more dive destinations, the fun part is that more than 50% of Yap's reefs remain unexplored. It is often said that Yap is "World Class Diving's best kept Secret".
The professional staff at Yap Divers will guide you to the best diving Yap has to offer, from the gentle mantas of Mil Channel and Valley of the Rays, to the spectacular walls, reefs and sheer drop-offs at the southern end of the island such as the Yap Caverns, Magic Kingdom, Cabbage Patch & Gilman Wall.
Most of Yap's dive sites are within a 30-50 minute boat ride of the dive centre.
