Sunrise Reef
Why dive here
With 297+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, grey reef sharks and seahorses - Sunrise Reef offers some of Yap's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
Sunrise Reef in Yap offers a gentle drift along a healthy coral wall, dropping down to about 25 meters. We often spot reef sharks cruising the current and the occasional manta ray makes a pass. It's a relaxed dive, good for those looking for less intense conditions and a chance to really watch the reef life. Best dived in the morning light, as the name suggests.
