Saw many mantas on our three dive days with Yap Divers. Water was very murky in the channel so photography not great. Life in the channel included crocodile fish, sharks, morays, turtles and more. Outside the channel, the coral and critter life on the one wall dive we did was an A+, water was clear and little current. We went overboard into 3-4 foot waves and immediately saw 8-9 circling reef sharks. We later found out that the sharks come to feed after the boat circles 2-3 times. Also, saw many mandarin fish at Rainbow Reef. Good diving while we were there but one week later the cyclone hit. Palau is as good as everyone says. Lots of large fish, schools of many different types of fish, turtles, great coral, clear water and a requested dive to see the nautilus. It was all fantastic. At Blue Corner an eagle ray hung for about 5 minutes 6 inches from my son while we were hooked on the reef. An eagle ray swam around me within inches on another dive. So many great experiences on this trip. |
