Yap Caverns & Magic Kingdom, Yap, FSM

This was a picture taken by Ron Ledgerwood on our final day of diving. This was an absolutely incredible day with which to end our trip. These two dives were outside the reef, so there was a rough boat ride in the swells to the dive site. All hands made it with no sea sickness.

The first dive was the Yap Caverns. These are not caves, but rather a three-dimensional labyrinth. There were a few swim throughs with a covered over head, but most were open to the surface.

On the second dive, Magic Kingdom, we saw several schools of trigger fish and parrot fish. L found a tiny starfish, which we will post when we get our underwater film is developed. We also saw three sharks, small white tipped reef sharks. No danger, but a thrill anyway. There were also many schools of tiny fish in all colors.

We had dinner this evening with the owner of the credit union here and then returned home. We are so drained, that we are heading to bed early. Tomorrow, we will have a short tour and will then pack for our flight out at 7:30PM. We will be in Guam at 9:00PM. We fly out first thing on T-day morning to Japan, layover 5 hours, and then leave for the Houston at 5:20PM.

We arrive in Houston 12 hours later, but at 2:00PM --before we left!!??!!?? brief layover then on to Dallas.
