This Week in Yap

A Photo Summary of our dives on a weekly basis

This is our way of showing our prospective clients and friends just what the diving is like in Yap, on a weekly basis. We'll try and keep this updated each week as a photo dive log from our daily dive trips  with photos featuring highlights from our adventures beneath the waves.

Please note that this is what the diving is really like. No paid advertising and no fancy magazine photo spreads. Only real photos from our dives featuring the highlights from that week. If the weather was bad or the visibility was poor, we'll show that too because even in paradise, the conditions aren't always perfect.

 

November 3 - November 9, 2008

 

Noah, working at the hospital here in Yap for a few weeks, has found time to take our Advanced Open Water class. Here he is at 100ft. Hang Loose, Noah!

     
 

Dave's had a busy week (which is why this week's episode is a little late). Pictured is high school student Bailey, from Canada, as she explores the shallows on her first open water dive as part of the Open Water certification course.

     
 

A pair of Bannerfish.

     
 

We see lots of nudibranchs at 1:2.

     
 

This turtle was resting on the bottom, waiting for action, I guess.

     
 

The same turtle, wondering if Dave was a friend or foe.

     
 
An Anemonefish in the corals.
     
 

Dave and Bailey kept a wary eye on this Triggerfish, but alas, he was just hangin' out.

     
 
Bailey holds up a Sea Star.

 

    
 
The latter part of the week saw Noah learning to navigate underwater with a compass.
     
 
He did pretty well, too, since he got us back to the boat safely after each navigational pattern.

Tori, a local resident, swims over some gorgonians.
     
 
The water in Yap can be incredibly clear on the outer reef.
