DIVE
WITH MANTAS!

YAP'S
AMAZING MANTAS!
SOLD
OUT!
You have heard about the famous manta
rays of Yap ever since you first started
diving. But why go all that way for
mantas? Because the mantas are just the
beginning. We're talking about a FANTASTIC
Micronesian destination here, with clear
water, reefs, walls, tons of macro, lots
of fish, a SHARK FEED dive, the famous
mating mandarinfish and oh yeah, did I
mention tons of friendly mantas?
Sure, you can go to the Revillagigedos
in Mexico for mantas and it's closer. But
it's very expensive and mantas are
about the only thing you will see up
close. For about the same price (yes, even
including the airfare) you can go to the
South Pacific with white sand beaches,
stone money, fascinating island cultures
and great diving. And see MORE than "just"
mantas.
THE PRICE CAN'T BE BEAT
This is a TEN day trip (9 days of diving)
with 3 dives per day, breakfast and dinner
every day, lodging for 10 nights for one
package price of $2,500.00 USD.
(Non-diver price $1,575.00 sharing a
double with a diver. This includes lodging
and breakfast/dinner.) Prices are per
person, double occupancy. Night dives are
extra.
Dates are October 8-18, 2008.
Why October? It's the best month for
diving in Yap in terms of water/weather
and mantas. They come to the cleaning
stations in shallow water in Sept/Oct and
this is the time of year when the wind is
least, so you can hit all the dives sites
on all sides of the island.
We are staying with the Manta
Ray Bay Hotel, one of the best
diver-oriented hotel/diveshops on the
planet. Run by legendary Yap-master Bill
Acker, this is a fantastic hotel with
wonderful accomodations, modern rooms,
great food and they REALLY cater to the
needs of photographers and divers.
My friend Mike
Veitch (who I met in Fiji a few years
ago) is now the photo pro at Manta Ray Bay
Hotel and he has allowed me to use a bunch
of his images here, so check it out!!
You may also want to watch this
interesting manta
video on ocean.com. I had nothing to
do with this video, but it's pretty
cool!!
