Underwater Photography

Whether you're using a Nikonos V, a housed digital camera, video, or a point and shoot disposable, underwater photographers will love the diving in Yap. And with so many photo subjects on every dive, there's something for everyone. From macro to mantas, squid, sharks and nudibranchs to mandarinfish, visiting photographers can shoot a wide variety of critters, animals and scenery.

None of our dives are rushed, because we cater to smaller group sizes and in Yap, nobody should be in a hurry. This is your vacation, after all!

Many of our guests' dives last 90 minutes or more. We give our customers the chance to be underwater longer, giving you more time to do what you came here for. To dive and explore the underwater world that makes Yap such a special place. Our guides are expert at finding the littlest of sea creatures; from porcelain crabs to anemone shrimp, gobies, mandarinfish, crabs and nearly everything in between. Photo subjects abound on the reefs in Yap.

We're always on the lookout for unusual finds too, like frogfish, the wily Pegasus sea moths, and the spiny devilfish.

If you like to go slow and take time to look for the reef's inhabitants, you'll love our style of diving. No rush, long bottom times, and ample photo opportunites.

Don't have a camera? That's okay too. We have cameras for rent, and they're so easy to use you'll come back at the end of the day with images you'll be proud of. And for those divers that don't want to take pictures, that's fine too. Even non-photographers will enjoy our relaxed and safe guided dives.
