Today’s dive log has manta shrimp, pipe fish, scorpion leaf fish, nudibranches, a baby turtle, all the reef fish, cleaner shrimp, blind shrimp and white gobi’s, treveli, napolean wrasse and bumphead parrot fish. This is a macro wonderland and the place to see Yap’s critters.
This is the second-closest dive site to the resort, the first being the Manderine Fish mating site.
Manta ray size how to#
This is noon in Yap with some macro diving to go.Īfter our post-lunch surface interval talking about how to solve the world’s problems, we decided to dive again. This is served up in the shade with warm banana bread and bottomless hot tea or ice water. I saw a couple of things getting opened up – sandwiches, salads, grilled fish, white rice, fries and baked beans. We moved the boat from one lagoon to another and William broke out the Mnuw made box lunches. We had several mantas with us the entire dive passing between us within inches sometimes. Here’s today’s high-five pass in the first minute of our dive. We came in with several animals that didn’t mind us one bit. The next stop was a bouy all the way inside M’il Channel to the manta cleaning station. The outer reef diving in Yap gives it to you two ways – look close at the reef, or look out into the blue for big things. A guest pointed out the purple scorpion fish on that corral head. Overhead was a school of chevron barracuda and father down the reef wall was a lone proper barracuda, I don’t know all of the four types found here on Yap, but a proper barracuda is over four feet long and has a broom size tail. Today we saw everything but the eagle rays and a school of sharks with babies.Īlex’s plan was to catch the very last of the incoming tide and drift into M’il Channel and ride the current back out to the reef wall.Īs we rounded the corner into the channel we were passed by two dogtooth tuna, and had big grey reef sharks coming in and out of sight the whole dive. Here you typically see the largest sharks, barracuda, tuna, schools of sharks with babies, eagle rays, manta rays, schools of snapper, grouper and everything that lives in the reef wall.
This is the M’il Channel outer reef wall on the north side, where you roll in just behind the breakers into clear Yap blue water. This is everything but the happy hour part. Bill calls it a Super Size, which means lunch is served onboard with three dives and you’re back before happy hour. This is a three-tank day and how to add and-on an extra serving of Yap diving.
