Yap has 100 miles of reef and claims 38 square miles of land spread out between four main islands. The southern barrier reef walls are home to some of our most spectacular diving in the South Pacific. The first thing that divers encounter is water clarity, it'll change your perception of what diving is supposed to...

Auch wenn es (noch) nicht viele wissen: Begegnungen mit Haien sind in Yap noch wahrscheinlicher als Begegnungen mit Mantas. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen kann es passieren, dass man an einer der Putzerstationen keinen Rochen sieht - es ist aber absolut unmöglich, an Vertigo tauchen zu gehen und keinen Riffhai zu sehen. Ein typischer Tauchgang an Vertigo...

Shark encounters in Yap are actually more guaranteed than with Manta Rays. You can go to a manta cleaning station and not see a ray, given some conditions - however you can't go to Vertigo and not see a reef shark. A typical dive at Vertigo means you'll have anywhere between 10-40 grey and black...

This week we had Julie Hartup on island who is Manta Trust’s Guam-based Micronesia and Marianas Islands project leader. She is working with Mark Deakos Ph.D. with the Hawaii...

Reproduzimos aqui um post do extraordinário Brad Holland, o fotógrafo residente da Yap Divers, sobre mergulhos com os visitantes da Ventura Dive & Sport e que em nossa opinião simboliza muito bem a diversidade encontrada nos mergulhos em Yap, ilustrada com fotos do mesmo!   Julho é um mês de mar calmo, ventos leves, muito...

There's some special deals floating around right now. Last month we gave out some upgraded dive packages with ocean front room upgrades and two speciality shark dives with some other comfortable hotel goodies... and now we're running a two-person deal where your friend can receive a $400 discount - this is for dates between now...

July promises calm seas, light winds, sunshine and a wide open Yap dive map. Ride shotgun with Ventura Dive & Sport on a 7/5 super size package, getting Micronesia the way it use to be, still is... This time of year you get everything but mating manta rays and trade winds. This was a busy dive...
