YAP, Federated States of Micronesia

Yap is "World Class Diving's Best Kept Secret". Yap is most well known for its Mantas! Every day the combination of plankton, tide and current sets the stage for an undersea ballet featuring some of the ocean's largest creatures. Manta Rays, some weighing more than one ton, with wingspans of 14 feet or more, dance and glide through Yap's clear Pacific waters. Dozens of manta's can be experienced at one time offering an incredible visual explosion of the senses. Yap is perhaps the best known for its stone money, carved from the rock islands of Palau and transported over 300 miles of open ocean in sailing canoes. These disks are still in use today with their value being determined by size, shape and the difficulty of the acquisition.

YAP: Manta Ray Bay Hotel and Yap Divers

Yap Divers offers divers all one could ever hope for in terms of dive experiences, with regularly scheduled drift dives, wall dives, cavern dives and night dives as well as their specialty mantas dives.

Mi'l Channel is more than the "home of the mantas", a typical dive would be a slow drift along the south wall with an incoming tide at a depth of about 65ft. Intriguing coral formations, ledges, caves, numerous exotic reef fish, sharks, turtles and eagle rays pass before you as you glide toward the ridge - one of just two known manta ray cleaning stations in Yap.

The hotel features spacious air-conditioned rooms with all the amenities including a restaurant with fine food prepared by an international chef
