How is diving with Beyond the Reef Divers? I'd like to stay at Trader's Ridge
Resort for my non-diving spouse, but they don't have a special package with Yap
Divers, so it would be a few hundred more to dive with Yap Divers.

Thanks.

PS--Is Trader's Ridge substantially nicer for the same class of room/view?

Me and my wife dived with them last Christmas for 10 days......very
friendly.

We also stayed at Traders.......but dived with beyond the reef, we used
the larger boat that Traders have and went out from their private jetty at
the bottom of their garden.

If you visit their web site you can see what you get.....it is
substantially better than other accommodation in Yap, its a beautiful old
colonial building, oak floors throughout, we had the top floor middle room
with balcony.....best views........the restaurant provides food that i
described as "wanting to take photo's of" rather than eat......a little
expensive and "arty farty" for us, we prefer divers grub......we used to
go to the old Junk moored behind Yap divers Hotel, good food and very
cheap.....every one at traders is very friendly, its very quiet and has
the only hotel pool on Yap......and believe me your non diving friend will
be mad at you if you book somewhere without a pool when they find out
there is one at Traders......
