Comments	Lots of schools of fish, sharks, morays, some turtles, small critters. We didn’t see any mantas although that is what they are famous for. Resort is comfortable and clean. There is a small pool and good restaurant with a few others nearby. Diving operation is efficient and helpful. Yap has a much different feel to it than Chuuk. People seem to be working, more prosperous and there are businesses operating on the island. Walking around is ok and we also took an island tour and saw some WWII plane wrecks and banks with stone money.
