Micronesia :: Yap : Yap Caverns

This is the most southerly site on Yap and the most popular after the manta cleaning stations. The caverns and swim throughs are cut into the coral wall at depths varying from 3-20m and are well illuminated by sunlight making them easy to explore. Coral formations are plentiful and varied, acting as home to a multitude of marine life.

Large pelagics are common around the entrances and you can expect to see whitetip and grey reef sharks, tuna, barracuda and parrotfish. The occasional manta will cruise by as well.
