Vertigo

A reef plateau at about 15 m ends at a vertical wall, and Asia Dive Site calls it the most spectacular drop-off around Yap. Yap Divers runs a daily shark dive here, with grey and blacktip reef sharks circling close to divers. Napoleon wrasse, morays, groupers and snappers are also seen, and Divers Alert Network counts it among the best shark dives in the Pacific. Visibility is usually very good, and the sharks also make it a popular snorkelling site. The boat ride from the resort takes 25 to 35 minutes.
