See yourself there turning around from the wall to look out at the blue where sharks galore patrol back and forth, followed by rays and large pelagics. Picture the marine life scuttling around in every crevice and hole while clouds of small vibrant reef fish cascade down the steep reef. Imagine diving on sheer walls dropping down into the abyss, yet festooned in soft corals and sea fans. That's Palau!
Palau's mushroom-shaped rock islands offer a variety of exciting dives: WWII wrecks, shark-infested channels, blue holes and even a few caves. There are also sheer walls covered in lush soft corals and huge anemones. Beginner divers may find Palau's strong currents challenging.
