I just returned from being a judge at a photo event named Manta Fest in Yap (Micronesia). Other judges were Tim Rock, Ray Bullion and Frank Schneider. Much fun was had by all which means somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 to 40 attendees. My third trip to Yap. I love it. It is the most traditional of the major Micronesian Islands and the people are terrific. Same goes for the diving. Manta Fest certainly lived up to its name- lots and lots of mantas. Other good dives include a shark dive with gray reefs and blacktip reef sharks, a mandarinfish dive and some great walls that plummet to nowhere.
Dates for next year's Manta Fest have been set for late August and early September- two weeks. Hope to see you there!
