Dive Review of
Yap Divers/Manta Ray Bay Resort in
Micronesia/Yap

Bonaire, Grand Turk, Cozumel, Roatan, Cayman Brac, Marathon in Florida
Keys, Eastern Florida, 

Dive Conditions

None.  Preferred we dive with the dive master but it was not required. We
had a mix of Nitrox and non Nitrox so almost every dive we ended up
splitting up half way through the dive.  Manta Ray dives under 90ft, reef
dives up to 110.  

Did not have underwater photo equipment  

Overall Rating

Yap is a wonderful place and excellent diving.  Bill Acker has carved out a
diver friendly business here.  Resort is excellent for a third world
country.  Large rooms, each decoratd in the theme of sea life.  large
showers, patios. Unfortunately no swimming pool. Restaurant and bar are on
an old wooden merchant ship, very colorful.  Diving operation is excellent.
 Staff rigs all equipment for every dive.  All you do is gear up and dive.
Water warm, wet suit not necessary.  Manta Rays were mating so they really
put on a show, rolls, loops etc. Swam very close so made up for poor
visibility.  Need to dive Nitrox so you can stay long enough to enjoy the
show. Reef diving was good but I believe the Caribbean beats them here. 
However their fish are more colorful and more variety, not all Parrots. Not
a lot to do on shore but a few night spots and places to shop. Highly
recommend the cultural tour on the last day, we hired a private guide and
he was excellent.  All arranged through the resort.  Yap has a strong
cultural foundation and you need to learn about it and the stone money.
