Dive Spot Guide•
Cabbage Patch - Micronesia
Cabbage Patch is Yap's colorful drift wall dive.
Local operator required
A local Yap operator is the practical way to time the drift and manage the channel-side flow.
Boat-based Yap wall dive with lettuce coral, fish-rich shallows, and a drift line that is easiest to enjoy when the current stays mild.
About Cabbage Patch - Micronesia
Cabbage Patch is a Yap reef wall where bright lettuce coral, hard coral, and a gentle slope make a relaxed but fishy drift dive. The site runs along a vertical wall and fissures that hold current, so divers move with the flow while watching the coral heads and the open water beyond. Plan for tide-aware timing and a guided entry, because the best run keeps the current manageable and the wall color in view.
