Located in Gabach Channel, Crescent Reef is usually done as a drift dive, either in or out of the channel depending on the tide. A bit deeper than most dives in Yap, the action is excellent, with a large school of black bar barracudas showing up almost every time, as well as schools of striped snappers, black snappers, fusiliers, bump head parrotfish, and big groupers. On top of this, schooling scalloped hammerheads have been seen on a regular basis!
CoralsDramatic dropoffs, walls and formations with sunlit holes.
Fish LifeScalloped hammerhead sharks, huge Napoleon wrasses, black bar barracuda, and lots of schooling snappers, fusiliers, bump head parrotfish, and big groupers.
