About this site
Paaw Reef sits among the reef systems surrounding Yap, an island group in the Federated States of Micronesia known for its channels and coral formations. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres, and dive sites in this part of Yap are typically reached by short boat rides from the main island's lagoon area.
