Palau's intriguing blue holes, spectacular drop-offs, caverns, caves and channels, it's no wonder Palau is consistently ranked as one of the world's most thrilling dive destinations.
With more than 1400 species of fish, 500 species of healthy coral and its large pelagic action, diving in Palau should be at the very top of anyone's list. Whale sharks, eagle rays, turtles reef sharks and the occasional hammerhead are a few examples of the astonishing spectrum of marine life this Micronesian archipelago has to offer.
One of the biggest thrills you can have as a diver is watching a manta gently swoop in from above. Within the German Channel, manta rays gather in their numbers to feed on plankton and visit the cleaning stations. Cleaner wrasse and butterflyfish get to work, much to the delight of the winged beauties and divers alike.

Palau is a paradise for divers, but for veterans it holds a deeper significance. These islands were the site of some of the most grueling and costly campaigns of World War II, where courage, sacrifice, and endurance left an indelible mark.
On September 15, 1944, U.S. Marines of the 1st Marine Division stormed the beaches of Peleliu, followed by the Army’s 81st Infantry Division. What was predicted to take three days became a 74-day struggle against entrenched Japanese defenders in a labyrinth of caves and bunkers.
U.S. Casualties: Over 1,700 killed and 8,000 wounded.
Japanese Casualties: Nearly all 11,000 defenders perished.
Conditions: Scorching heat, little fresh water, and relentless resistance made Peleliu one of the most punishing battles in the Pacific.
General Rupertus had promised a quick victory — but instead, Peleliu became one of the Marine Corps’ bloodiest chapters.
Today, divers encounter reminders of that fierce history:
The Iro Maru – A Japanese oil tanker sunk in Operation Desecrate One, now a thriving coral reef.
The Chuyo Maru – A sunken freighter, upright and filled with life, yet frozen in time.
The Jake Seaplane – A nearly intact Japanese reconnaissance plane in shallow water.
Peleliu’s wartime wreckage – Tanks, artillery, and rusting defenses still dot the island and reef.
Each site is both an underwater museum and a living reef — where history and nature intertwine.
The human cost of the Pacific War is honored in solemn sites across Peleliu:
Peleliu Memorial Park – Dedicated to all who fought, with plaques and memorials placed near the beaches where Marines landed.
Japanese Peace Memorial – A quiet site on Peleliu honoring the thousands of Japanese soldiers who perished.
Allied Graves – Many American dead were initially buried on Peleliu before later being reinterred at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (“Punchbowl”) in Honolulu. While there is no large U.S. military cemetery on Peleliu today, memorial markers and smaller sites honor their sacrifice.
81st Infantry Division Memorial – Commemorates the Army’s “Wildcat” Division, which relieved the Marines and endured brutal fighting in the Umurbrogol ridges.
Walking these memorials, and diving among the relics, is a humbling reminder of the cost of freedom.
For veterans and their families, Palau is more than a dive destination — it’s a journey through living history. The same waters that once ran red now shimmer with life: manta rays, sharks, turtles, and corals thrive where battles once raged.
To dive Palau and visit Peleliu is to experience both awe and reflection — honoring the sacrifices of the past, while finding peace and connection in the ocean’s embrace.
Palau can be dived year-round, but the best season is during the dry months from October through May — which makes April an excellent time to visit. Water temperatures average a comfortable 81–86°F (27–30°C), so most divers are comfortable in a 3mm wetsuit, though a 5mm is a good choice if you get cold easily on multiple dives.
One of Palau’s greatest treasures is its exceptional visibility, which can stretch up to 50m — remarkable for a destination with such nutrient-rich waters and strong currents. These currents fuel the marine life that Palau is famous for. In April, you can expect thrilling encounters at sites like Blue Corner and German Channel, where reef sharks, manta rays, and schools of barracuda are common. Napoleon wrasse, turtles, eagle rays, and even the occasional hammerhead can also make appearances. With over 1,400 species of fish and 500 species of coral, every dive is an adventure.
Big Drop-Off
A wall dive that begins as shallow as 2' at low tide and drops to 600'. It is considered by most to be the most beautiful wall dive in Palau because of its abundance of hard and soft corals, seafans, schools of pyramid butterfly fish, and a multitude of tropical reef fish.
Blue Corner
The best known and most highly rated dive site in Micronesia features a shallow coral shelf that projects out into the ocean and has vertical walls on both sides. An upwelling created by the currents attracts schools of fish and large pelagics to the top edges of the walls. The dive is best known for its schools of gray reef sharks that cruise the edge of the wall. Two resident Napoleon wrasses often accompany the divers throughout their dive. Dogtooth tuna, eagle rays, manta rays, white tip and hammerhead sharks, turtles, schooling barracudas, and schools of reef fish populate the site.
Blue Holes
This is a series of four large holes in the top of the reef that converge to form a gigantic underwater chamber. The chamber has a huge opening on a wall that is home to soft corals, sea fans, sea whips and hard corals. Large pelagics often encountered here include tuna, jacks, gray and white tip reef sharks, barracuda and eagle rays. Grouper, Napoleon wrasse, triggerfish, Moorish idols, butterflyfish, anemones and turtles are common at this site, which is situated next to Blue Corner.
Chandelier Caves
A short swim through a tunnel at depth of 35' opens into a cave consisting of three chambers. Beautiful stalactites formed by water dripping down through the rock island above, hang from the ceilings and give the caves their name. Tiny holes to the outside wood allow fresh air to enter the chambers so that divers can surface and admire the beautiful surroundings.
Denges Passage
This natural channel, situated on Palau's eastern coast, is home to an entire family of cuttlefish. The uncommon creatures, related to the squid family, are as accommodating to photographers as they are rare. They are not often encountered by divers because of the relatively few locations in the world where they can be found, their ability to remain relatively motionless, and their excellent camouflage.
German Channel
This man-made channel through the southwest side of the barrier reef is home to two diving areas. One site, known as Manta Rock, is a natural cleaning station where giant manta rays come to have their bodies cleansed of parasites and debris by cleaner wrasses. Gray reef sharks also often avail themselves of the wrasses' services. The area is also inhabited by barracudas, snappers, titan triggerfish, gobies, lionfish, leaffish, and an octopus. Nearby is a coral garden that features crocodile fish, nudibranchs, flatworms, anemones and clown fish.
New Drop-Off
Halfway between Blue Corner and Big Drop-Off, this vertical wall is similar to Blue Corner in that it is a shallow shelf that juts out into the ocean, catching the current and creating an upwelling that attracts schools of pyramid butterflyfish and barracudas, along with a number of gray reef sharks. The steep wall is covered with soft corals and seafans.
Ngedebus Coral Gardens
One of the best collections of hard corals in the Pacific, this dive features a spur and groove reef structure that supports turtles, cuttlefish, anemones, tridacna clams, white tip reef sharks, and thousands of small schooling fish.
Ngerchong
The island of Ngerchong, just beyond Denges Passage has two dive sites nearby: Ngerchong Outside and Ngerchong Coral Gardens. Ngerchong Outside is a sloping wall dive featuring sea fans, anemones, soft corals and many hard coral formations. Sharks, bumphead parrotfish, and schooling fish are frequently seen here, as well as an occasional manta ray. The Coral Gardens, also known as Ngerchong Inside, is probably the best dive in Palau for seeing an abundance and variety of hard corals. Table coral, staghorn coral, elkhorn coral, mushroom coral and brain coral are just some of the varieties of corals found here. In addition, many anemones with clownfish, along with cuttlefish, turtles and other fish thrive here. This dive can be enjoyed at any depth between 10' and 80'.
Peleliu
The island of Peleliu, at the southern tip of the main archipelago of Palau, is bordered by magnificent walls. The dive sites include Peleliu Corner, Yellow Wall, and Orange Beach, among others. Peleliu dive sites are mainly steep walls covered with sea fans, sea whips, hard corals and anemones, but dominated by soft corals. Peleliu is an excellent place to observe large pelagic life, particularly sharks.
Short Drop-Off
A sloping wall just outside the entrance to Koror Harbor that is covered with giant seafans. The top of the wall is a beautiful coral garden loaded with tropical fish and invertebrates.
Siaes Tunnel
An extraordinary deep dive on the west side of the Palau, close to the Ulong Channel. The dive begins on a sheer wall with the opening of the tunnel starting at 70'. You enter through an opening, which is about 50' across and 20' high, and swim through the tunnel, which parallels the wall for 150'. The inside of the tunnel is a large cavern with a ceiling at 80-90' and the floor at 120-130'. Halfway through the tunnel is a "Window" in the wall that looks out onto the deep blue. You exit through a large opening on the wall at 80'. Stingrays, turtles, schools of jacks, and sharks can be seen in and around the tunnel.
Ulong Channel
This channel is located on the west side of Palau, close to Siaes Tunnel and Wall. Its entrance is surrounded by walls that are topped by beautiful coral gardens. On the incoming tide, the mouth of the channel is filled with gray reef sharks. The channel extends for a distance of approximately one-half mile, averaging 100' in width. The maximum depth is about 60'. Coral covered walls run the length of the channel on either side. A shallow ridge running the center of the channel is blanketed with soft corals, hard corals, sea fans, and anemones. Unique to this site is a huge patch of plate coral resembling lettuce leaves that is home to schools of squirrelfish, soldierfish and glasseyes. The current provides a gentle push, resulting in a beautiful, leisurely ride along the channel.
Wonder Channel
Located within the rock islands just a short distance from Jellyfish Lake and Clam City, this channel is best dived on the east side along a wall that starts at the surface and reaches a depth of 80'. Soft corals, sea fans, anemones, blue and red starfish, crown of thorns star-fish, crabs, pipefish, and a large variety of sea slugs, flat worms and nudibranchs can be found along this wall.
Wreck of the Iro Maru
A 145' long merchant ship sunk during World War II by American bombers, the Iro Maru sits upright in 120' of water just 10 minutes south of Koror. Three mast and gun turrets at the bow and stern support a large variety of invertebrates and hard corals. The main deck is at a depth of 80'with open holds containing oil drums and machinery.Top Dive Sites
