FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What makes diving on Yap so special?
We do have a manta population residing permanently in the waters of Yap meaning there is always a high probability (regardless whether it’s mating season or not) that you will encounter manta(s), however we have much more than just to mantas. The (reef) sharks are at Vertigo kind all year round, the Mandarin Fish dive site is just a 5 minutes boat ride from the resort, we have amazing corals and macro especially in the South/West-South/East with caverns and walls. Currents not as strong as other dive destinations, but we do drift dives. All this make it a perfect destination for beginners while the advanced/experienced/hard-core divers also enjoy it. We have a VIP-diving service meaning we bring all the gear, tanks, etc. from the lockers to the boat and after the dives back to the lockers. The dive shop is maximum a 2 minute walk from the rooms.
