All of the dive facilities and equipment storage are conveniently located within
the grounds of the Hotel. Yap Divers, located on the premises, offer a full service
dive shop, all levels of instruction, Mares equipment rental, morning and afternoon
two tank dives to either the Manta sites or the reefs, and night dives on request.
Dive Sites 
Although there are a host of charted dive sites and a program to discover more
dive destinations, the fun part is that more than 50% of Yap's reefs remain unexplored.
It is often said that Yap is "World Class Diving's best kept Secret".
The professional staff at Yap Divers will guide you to the best diving Yap
has to offer, from the gentle mantas of Mil Channel and Valley of the Rays, to
the spectacular walls, reefs and sheer drop-offs at the southern end of the island
such as the Yap Caverns, Magic Kingdom, Cabbage Patch & Gilman Wall.
Most
of Yap's dive sites are within a 30-50 minute boat ride of the dive centre.

photographs and paintings of that fish, right down to the hand carved key chain.

manta rays.
