About this site
Telegraph Reef sits off Yap, an island group in the Federated States of Micronesia known for its position amid the western Pacific's coral reef systems. Yap's outer reefs are typically reached by short boat trips from the main island and its channels. The reef reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres, and divers have reported lionfish and stonefish here.
