LEVELS :: DRIFT DIVE / WALL DIVE
 The
currents here can be strong, unpredictable, and even dangerous
for the less experienced
diver. Two main currents come together, one from the Philippine
sea and the other from the Pacific Ocean, to meet at Peleliu
Corner. Peleliu
is farther away from Koror than most of the other dive sites and
the
area
is best
to dive when the weather is good. The wall at this site,
the deepest in Palau, is also known as the Yellow
Wall for the abundance of yellow soft coral that covers it. The
main reason to dive here though is the possibility of seeing some
of the rarer large pelagics.
You
will see the usual white tip and black tip sharks at Peleliu
Corner, along with large schools of barracuda, but there
is also a greater chance to see some of the bigger
sharks, like the silver
tip
and the hammerhead, which sometimes appear in large schools
in the deeper water off the corner. Peleliu
Corner is considered to be one of Palau's great 'action' dives,
and for
advanced divers, one of the most exciting
dives there is - in Palau or elsewhere.
