Comments We went to Yap forst for a few days. We did the 3 dive per day "super sized" package and got stuck only diving reefs with 3 other divers. We had to ask to do the manta dives. Travel included a lot of late night / early morning flying which we expected. It was all worth it when we got to Palau and the Palau Aggressor crew could not have been any better. The diving was awesome. We saw several pelagics such as mantas at German Channel (what we went for), sharks including one leopard shark (a first for me) and turtles along with the small such as razor fish, signal gobies and mandarin fish. The water was warm about 85*, vis varied from 40 - 70' but less vis generally means more mantas. One dive we saw spent the majority of the time mesmorized by a huge column of spawning snapper, until the bull shark showed up. And the spinner dolphon show after one dive was amazing. All in all, it was some of the best diving I have ever done.
