With 297+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, grey reef sharks and seahorses - Lionfish Wall offers some of Yap's richest wall diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
Lionfish Wall in Yap lives up to its name; we often spot several of these striking hunters tucked into ledges and crevices along the drop-off. The wall itself is interesting, with plenty of smaller things to discover if you take your time. This site is a solid choice for macro enthusiasts who appreciate a good wall dive, though it's generally a calmer current experience compared to some of Yap’s drift dives.
