Vertigo is a wall dive off Yap, an island group in the Federated States of Micronesia in the western Pacific, typically reached by a short boat trip from the main island and its fringing reef channels. It tops out at a beginner-friendly depth of around 12.2 metres. Grouper have been spotted along the wall, and divers have also reported hammerhead sharks passing through.
