Yap

Yap is one of the westernmost states of the Federated States of Micronesia and is famous for its manta ray population. The waters around Yap offer a unique mix of channels, reefs, and drop-offs where divers can encounter large schools of manta rays, especially at Manta Ridge and Valley of the Rays. Yap's traditional culture, including stone money and traditional navigation, adds to the allure of diving in this remote paradise.
