The Blue Holes

    Looking up from the bottom of
    the Blue Hole...

    Quite a fun dive, especially if the tide is a bit low.... Enter by getting washed over the lip of the reef, trying to time the waves right to enter the mouth of the blue hole. Once in, drop straight down thru a dark vertical shaft about 80 feet. Once you emerge from the bottom of the hole, the dive procedes as a drift dive along a wall, which if the currents are strong enough will wash you down to the Blue Corner. (while enjoying the patroling reef sharks which are all about...)

    See shiny white encrusted bipeds emerging from the Milky way Lagoon. Famed for a au natural spa treatment, boat loads of visitors come here and scoop up the white mud at the bottom of the lagoon and smear it all over their sun burnt skin... Quite fun.... and soothing...

    The Blue Corner

  • Divers Anchored down along the Blue Corner - Palau
    Divers Anchored down along the

    Probably the most famous dive site in Palau is the Blue Corner. Noted for the gin & tonic clear water, strong currents , and sharks sharks sharks. The strong currents necessitate that dives either hold on to the ledge of the corner, or use a small line and anchor to tie themselves down to the ledge. On my first dive here, I didnt really get it. Sure there were some reef sharks about, but the currents were really ripping and visibility wasnt good. I ended up spending most of the dive just holding on for dear life... I'm glad I went back though. Next time out the currents were a bit more slack, with much better visibility. And in these conditions, there is just a panorama of marine life circling you. I got to the point where I would take any more shark pix unless I could get at least four or five in a single frame....

    Once of the more famed denizens of these waters are the many giant clams about. (Remember that old Batman show where the Joker is about to feed Batman and Robin to the beasts ?? Kinda like that..) Once easy place to see them is to snorkel about 50 meters off the beach at the Pacific Palau Resort...

    Really the Rock Islands are the best reason to visit Palau.... Hundreds of small limestone rocks jutting out of the turquoise water... and just filled with all sorts of tropical wildlife, from dudong (sea cows) to crocodiles to every sort of tropical fish you'd ever hope to encounter...

    Turtle Cave
  • Tip Rating:
  • Similar dive, where, entry is through an overhead opening, and again dropping down through a dark cave... Though named turtle cave, I dint see no turtles. Towards the end of the dive, a couple of reef sharks did charge though the middle of our group chasing after a tuna, though, which was pretty exciting...

    Jelly Fish Lake
  • Tip Rating:
  • And most famous amongst the rock island locations is the mysterious jelly fish lake. Here millions of white and orange jelly fish fill this salt lake. The jelly fish have lost their stinging ability, make it safe to swim among them. When you dive down in the middle of the pulsating pack of jelly fish, it really feels like you have entered another world...

    Dolphin Encounters
  • Tip Rating:
  • As is the trend around the world these days, there is a place in Palau where u can swim with the dolphins.... Actually you can watch a dolphin show, swim with, snorkel with, dive with, probably even breed with the dolphins if you pay enough $$$'s I suppose.... Now I can see that it would be interesting to swim around with dolphins in the wild, but I have a little bit of a problem with doing it in an enclosed pen for $$$'s. (A little too much of close touristy encounter for the animals for my tastes, I guess....) Anyway, I did go down and see them jump around a bit one day.... Sorry no picts as I accidentally deleted the *&^%$## picts I took that day.. (another beer related causuality, I'm afraid...)

    Angaur
  • Tip Rating:
  • Angaur If you are like me and go the most remote places than Angaur is for you it is the southernmost of the Palau Islands group, and for the independent traveler looking to get off the beaten track, it has some serious South Seas charm. It's a low-key place, with only one village and just over 200 people, who are outnumbered 3-to-1 by crab-eating macaques. The monkeys descend from a pair brought over in the early 1900s to monitor air quality in the island's phosphate mines. where to stay: Island Villas Beach House C/O Angaur State Post Box Koror, Palau 96940 Telephone: (680) 277-1111 Fax: (680) 277-1111 Email: islandvillas@palaunet.com Contact: Leon Gulibert or OK's Motel P.O.

    Babeldaob
  • Tip Rating:
  • Babeldaob Babeldaob is a giant Island by Micronesia standards, has a land area of over 400 sq km. This make Babeldaob, more than four times the total area of all the other islands put together. Unlike most of Palau which are atolls Babeldaob is a high, volcanic island made of gently rolling hills, with beautiful stretches of sandy beach on the east coast and mangrove forests on the west. Parts of the jungly interior are virtually unexplored, and many of the villages are still connected by ancient stone paths. Very interesting romantic place to visit and in the north it has some of the prettiest beaches.Many of the island's hillsides were once terraced into steps and pyramids; archeological research suggest they were probably begun around 100 AD. Their purpose remains a mystery, and very curiously only one village was built anywhere near them. slide show video of Babeldaob
