Matt’s 36-hour layover in Guam left us too bedazzled to write last week. With the bright lights of the world’s largest K-Mart (extra parking on the roof!!) still burned into his retinas – and after spending untold amounts on cheese for KC – he made the trip back to Yap and flopped down on the couch for the rest of the week.
The weekend saw the continuation of Matt’s scuba certification classes.
After a shallow start in the pool, the classes moved into the ocean this week.
Although they sustained damage from supertyphoon Sudal in 2004, Yap’s reefs are among the most diverse on the planet. Water temperatures are in the mid-80s year-round, and visibility on a clear day can exceed 200 feet. Needless to say, learning to dive here beats thrashing around in a murky 50-degree Colorado lake. Here are a few photos from Matt’s first real dive.
