I have been fortunate enough to travel to Yap on three occasions. It is truly a magical place. The resort is great. And it is set up perfectly for divers and non-divers alike. The staff is helpful and friendly. The rooms are amazing and practical. The Mnuw Restaurant & Nautical Bar has great food and is wonderful for watching post-dive video. One year we even watched the World Cup as the sun rose over the water!

I am an underwater photographer and videographer and the sheer diversity of diving makes for hard choices on exactly which set-up to bring on each dive outing. You can shoot wide-angle, single-subject and macro all in the same dive! Diving in teams seems to be the best option with each diver carrying different set-ups and trading back and forth. Any way you go, you are bound to think, “If I only had my (fill in the blank)!” because almost any dive is just that diverse.

Thank you Manta Ray Bay Resort for memories for a lifetime!
