BLUE CORNER
30-75 ft
This is considered to be Palau’s best dive site. It is an exhilarating drift dive along a wall of soft corals hosting a variety of reef fish. As you come up on the reef, you'll take out your reef hook and hook on to a rock to enjoy the action. Grey reef sharks, black and white tip sharks, tiger sharks, turtles, schools of barracuda, yellow fin and dog tooth tuna, trevally, groupers, schools of batfish, eagle rays, and napolean wrasse...it'll be a challenge to take it all in.

BLUE HOLES
50-80ft
Four vertical shafts open from the top of the reef into a large cavern with an exit on the outer reef wall. Wire and black corals surround nudibranchs, disco clams, cleaner shrimp, and leafy scorpionfish, while white tip and leopard sharks sleep on the sandy bottom. During the outgoing tide, you can continue this dive to Blue Corner.

NEW DROP OFF
Shallow-100 ft
This wall drift dive is very similar to Blue Corner except that instead of one corner, you will find 3 corners, each having its own variety of fish and sharks. You will see grey reef sharks, white tips, napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, barracudas, and hawksbill and green turtles. Currents can be strong and can change between dives. It is important to pay attention to your dive master and guide.

GERMAN CHANNEL
10-75 ft
This was built by the Germans during the 1900’s to serve as a passageway for vessels coming from Peleliu and Angaur to Koror. Now it serves as a passageway for dive boats to the dive sites. The inside of German Channel is too shallow to dive, so your dive will take place just outside, where it slopes to a sandy bottom. A manta cleaning station is the main focus here. You will also see sting rays, spotted eagle rays, turtles, giant clams, cuttlefish, barracuda, garden eels, and white tip sharks.

PELELIU CORNER/EXPRESS
45-100 ft
The exceptionally fast current here provides excitement, while the colorful soft corals and gorgonian fans make it a photographer's favorite. Visibility is 100 ft despite the current. Along the wall you'll see anemones with clownfish, emperor angelfish, sweetlips, surgeonfish, eels and turtles. You'll also spot white tip and black tip sharks, schools of tuna, barracuda, jack, and snapper, rays, giant groupers and napolean wrasse. Triggerfish, anthius, and butterflyfish complete the picture.

SHORT DROP OFF
Shallow-60 ft
This is where Nautilus dives take place. The wall features soft corals, table corals, butterflyfish, angelfish (including Watanabe's angelfish), wrasses, grey reef, white tip, and black tip sharks, batfish, jacks, parrotfish, eagle rays and octopus.

DEVILFISH CITY
This is another great site to see manta rays, especially from January through April. Three cleaning stations have been know to service from 3 to 30 mantas at once. You will also enjoy the sight of rainbow runners, reef sharks, bumphead parrotfish, black snapper, unicornfish, striped skipjacks, fusiliers, crocodile fish, nudibranchs, leafy scorpionfish, and barracuda.

HELMET WRECK
45-105 ft
This wreck of a small Japanese supply ship, discovered in 1990, reveals a multitude of WWII artifacts including helmets, gas masks, belts, shoes, beer and sake bottles, machine guns, and ammunition stacks. Staghorn, brain and lettuce coral surround the ship, while shrimp, banded pipefish, lionfish, and a variety of other reef fish dot the landscape.
