Palau: Pacific Ocean
built 654 days ago
Palau is most famous for scuba diving. One of the most famous dive sites - Blue Corner, with constant sharks and a high current - is located less than 1 hour's boat ride from most resorts. Many live aboards like Ocean Hunter operate out of Palau. There are ... tours to WWII battle fields on Palau.

If you really want to go for the full Palau fishing experience you can actually go trolling, whipping and jigging all in one trip. Remember, this part of the Pacific is literally crawling with all kinds of fish.

Three ocean currents converge on Palau and bring with them marine life that is four times as rich as that in the Caribbean. There are over 1,500 species of fish and more than 700 species of coral. Divers can scale the 60 foot vertical drop-offs including the Ngemelis Wall descending some 1,000 feet to a dazzling array of multi-coloured sponges and fish, black coral whips and soft corals. Giant clams sit on the reef and moray eels hover nearby as do sharks who appear to be too well fed to be interested in you. For the more adventurous there are the underwater catacombs filled with massive, ancient stalactites and stalagmites, the best being the Blue Corner and Blue Hole.
