    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Yap's Reef Wall is a classic Pacific drop-off, a vertical face that plunges into the deep. We’ve seen grey reef sharks patrolling the edge, and the occasional manta ray gliding by in the blue. It’s a site for divers who appreciate dramatic topography and pelagic encounters, usually with a bit of current to keep things interesting. Visibility here is generally excellent.
