A Diver’s Dream
When you think of diving in Palau, certain creatures come to mind right away—Napoleon wrasse, manta rays, dugongs, and, of course, sharks. These animals are the stars of the show, making every dive unforgettable. Let’s talk about where you can see them and what makes these dive spots so special when you’re exploring Palau.
Napoleon Wrasse at Blue Corner
If you want to see a Napoleon wrasse up close, Blue Corner is the place to go. This big, friendly fish is known for getting very close to divers. Sometimes, it even seems to enjoy posing for photos! Blue Corner is famous for its strong currents, which attract all sorts of big fish, including barracudas, sharks, and the Napoleon wrasse. The action here is nonstop, and the experience of having this curious fish come so close you could almost touch it is something you won’t forget.
Manta Rays at German Channel
German Channel is the top spot for seeing manta rays in Palau. Between November and February, you’ll often see groups of these graceful creatures gliding through the water. Even outside of these months, single mantas are a common sight, especially around the cleaning stations where they come to get cleaned by smaller fish. Watching a manta ray soar through the water is something special. You might also spot sharks here, adding even more excitement to your dive.
Sharks at Blue Corner and Siaes Corner
Sharks are a huge draw for divers in Palau, and Blue Corner is one of the best places in the world to see them. The currents bring in plenty of reef sharks, and sometimes you might even see oceanic sharks cruising by. But for the real thrill-seekers, early morning dives at Shark City during fish aggregation are a must. Just before every full and new moon, thousands of fish gather in massive clouds to mate, creating a spectacle that draws in some of the ocean’s top predators. It’s here that you might witness the awe-inspiring sight of tiger and bull sharks on the hunt, adding an incredible edge to your diving experience. It’s a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic shows, and it’s all happening right here in Palau.
The Elusive Dugong
Dugongs are rare and protected in Palau, mostly found in the shallow, sandy areas around Koror. You can’t dive with them, but if you’re lucky, you might spot one swimming by as you head out to your dive site. Seeing a dugong is a rare treat, and it adds something extra special to your diving adventure.
