The Blue Corner

by kenmerk

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....

Giant Clams

by kenmerk

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...

Turtle Cave

by kenmerk

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...

The Blue Holes

by kenmerk

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...)

The Milky Way

by kenmerk

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...

Jelly Fish Lake

by kenmerk

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...

Rock Islands

by kenmerk

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...

Angaur III

by Ekahau

On the northeastern side of the island, an eerie airplane graveyard is littered with pieces of wrecked WWII planes. You'll have to look closely into the dense jungle covering, as most of them are overgrown. Look hard enough and you'll find a Corsair with its wings intact, although the amazing root structure of the towering ironwood trees is just as interesting as the planes.

Angaur II

by Ekahau

The Germans began mining the island in 1909, and the Japanese continued the operation until WWII. Instead of their tunnels, though, you're more likely to see the green ponds that have formed in the pits, now home to a small colony of crocodiles.Angaur's lone village overlooks its harbor on the western coast. The harbor, which is nearly enclosed, has waters so calm you'd think it was a giant swimming pool. North of town, there's an old Japanese lighthouse hidden by a jungle on a hill. It takes a sharp eye to find it, but you'll enjoy a great view from the top if you take the trouble.There's a miniature wooden Shinto shrine located on the northwestern coast with a nice beach nearby and good snorkeling when the water's calm. On the northwestern tip of the island there's a statue of the Virgin Mary, erected to protect Angaur from stormy seas. A Buddhist memorial with markers honoring fallen...

Sunsets and Sand

by ogb4619

It's all natural beauty. Unspoiled beaches. Just admire the serenity with a drink or two.So many bars and cafes on the beach to chose from.Diving is almost obligatory if you go there. Most people who visit, do so for the diving.Old plane and shipwrecks from WW2, many are designated "war graves" but you can dive in groups or solo.Plenty of boat hires, plenty of accommodation unless you take a on-board diving with sleep on boats.US$ currency makes it a little expensive.
