Yap Divers - Manta Ray Bay Hotel

Tucked within the Manta Ray Bay Resort in the Yap Islands of Micronesia, Yap Divers runs eight purpose-built dive vessels moored just outside the resort's accommodation. Fewer than 1000 divers reach Yap in a year, so dives stay relaxed and the ecosystems remain unspoilt. Every dive is run in small groups, giving you maximum bottom time and real say over where you go and what you focus on.

Diving Yap's uncharted reefs

With reefs between 5–40m, the diving suits novices and experienced divers alike. These protected, unpolluted waters hold impressive biodiversity and abundant big fish — sharks, mantas, eagle rays and turtles take year-round refuge here. Visibility regularly exceeds 30m and water temperatures hover around 28 degrees throughout the year, while great stretches of unmapped reef offer the rare chance to explore uncharted territory.

A PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, Yap Divers offers the Open Water Diver course over roughly 3 days. Facilities include an onsite training pool and classroom, with air fills, nitrox, equipment sales, service and rental all on hand. English is spoken.
