    Luxurious problems in Yap / Luxusprobleme in Yap

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on September 5, 2012
    Please scroll down for English version. "Also wirklich - ich wollte heute früh Wimpelfische fotografieren. Das ist einfach NICHT möglich, da irgendwas hinzukriegen ohne dass irgendwer durchs Bild schwimmt!!!" Schrieb Frank Schneider im Blog auf seiner Facebook-Seite. Die Mantas sind am "Stammtisch" echt ein Problem. Ich kenne das Drama auch von Vertigo, ist ja nur...

    Ein Quelltopf voller Haie

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on September 4, 2012
    Selten war blaues Wasser schöner. Vor den letzten Tauchgängen am westlichen Außenriff konnte vom Boot aus den Clownsfische als orange Punkte beim Tanzen zuschauen. Die Debatten zu den Sichtweiten bewegten sich irgendwo im Bereich zwischen 40 und 70 Metern. Kristallklar wie eine Quelle. Allerdings mit beständig lächelndem Fisch der Marke Grauer Riffhai und Schwarzspitzenriffhai. [caption...

    Another Manta Fest Media Leak

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on September 4, 2012
    The photos are rolling in and the word on the dock is that these are not the contest entries... so the best is being saved for the last. A few new shots in here are some topside shares from Masa showing us how to get it done without the housing. Enjoy... Judy Bennett Masa Mishishiro...

    A Yap Divers Day

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on September 3, 2012
    This is today's status straight from the boat to your browser. This morning was a classic Bill Acker tour of the Pacific reef. We've been getting outstanding conditions with great vis and a strong wildlife presence. Yesterday a group came back from Goofnuw channel and all the chatter was about Yap's clear blue water, even...

    Von Mantas zu den kleinen Wuseltierchen

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on August 31, 2012
    Spätestens seit sich die Mantarochen bis in die Kiemenspalten blicken lassen, ist das Fotografen-Fieber voll entbrannt. Die Boote rollen praktisch den ganzen Tag vom Jetty zu den Tauchplätzen und zurück - und die Auslöser drückende Fraktion ist nicht schüchtern wenn es um Bills „non-limit-diving“ zum MantaFest geht: Kommen ein, zwei Taucher, die zusammen rauswollen, ist...

    Manta Fest Status

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on August 29, 2012
    Clear blue water has greeted divers out on the reef. Before rolling in at southern dive sites we could see anemone fish 70+ feet below from inside the boat. Yap's dive conditions have been pretty solid lately which everyone is enjoying. Boats are rolling out steady all day and the photographers have not been shy...

Nebenbei ist uns ein großer Weißspitzenhai begegnet (ziemlich nahe),...

    Yap Divers Lifestyle

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on August 16, 2012
    This is what it's looking like between the dock and the reef this week. When it's this good, the 25 minute boat rides could be longer and nobody would mind. One of the nicest features of Yap is the relaxed diving pace on uncrowded dive sites with small boat groups. Today was no exception and...

    Giant Manta Ray Feeding Frenzy

    Posted by gm@mantaray.com on August 10, 2012
    This is the Manta encounter of the year, and a Yap Divers exclusive story and why. Bill and his team have been doing this almost 20 years longer than anyone else on the Island and this week that fact can be demonstrated. Manta Rays feeding in clear shallow water, 25 minutes from the hotel room......
