Yap Island Makes News in the Dive World

By Anonymous

John Pekailug a veteran dive guide with Yap Divers for the past 6 years wanted to try something new on a dive last May with his group of 4 divers. John noticed a spot on the reef outside Yap’s famous Mi’l Channel which seemed to always have sharks and eagle rays. For this particular dive, John decided to keep the group on the “corner” as opposed to simply drifting through, as had been the previous norm for this dive. To the group’s surprise, they were immediately surrounded by several large oceanic gray sharks with a sprinkling of reef white tips thrown in for good measure. Quite a dive by anyone’s standards.

John reported this to Bill Acker, the dive pioneer of Yap who has almost single handedly made this tiny Eden in Western Micronesia into one of the world’s most sought after dive destinations. Bill began a systematic tracking and testing routine for this new dive to see if it really rated a name and designation as an official Yap Diver’s Dive Site. To his amazement, the stories just kept growing. Sharks are there every dive. Large schools of jacks and snappers are there every dive. A school of eagle rays has been seen on almost every dive and a school of large barracuda are regular guests. Add to the amazing fish life the number of anemones, the clear water, the invertebrates on the reef and you have a very exciting dive that has all the potential to equal Palau’s famous Blue Corner.

Bill and his staff have named the new site Yap Corner and have determined the optimum times to dive here. The dive is dependent on the current and the tides and is definitely better at different times of the day. There have now been over 100 dives made at Yap Corner and no one has come away disappointed. For years, Yap has been more than Manta Rays and Yap Corner is but another in the ever increasing number of world class dive sites being offered to customers diving with Yap Divers.
