TABLE CORAL
Acropora hyacinthus is characterized by broad, horizontal growth covered with short erect branches on the top of the colony. Growth originates from a stout central stem and spirals out in a rosette-like arrangement.

Clownfish and AnemoneDive Palau seems to be the only dive shop in Palau that guides tours to this location.  We discovered Sunken Bridge, named after a bridge of coral that connects two points on the reef, while looking for alternatives to Devilfish City, where the manta sometimes don't show up.   It's actually a big hole that you drop down through and exits out onto the wall. The site is located to the north of Koror, on the outside of the reef close to Devilfish City.  Because the site is rarely visited, it is in pristine condition, with a full complement of marine life largel.

Sunken Bridge has some particularly beautiful table corals and, since it is rarely dived, the sharks there tend to be more curious.  Silver tips are spotted at times and can give you quite a thrill.  Turtles are also often seen on this dive, as well as schooling trevally and black snapper.  Larger pelagics make regular appearances in the deeper water off the wall.  This is a nice optional dive when visiting the northern part of Palau.  Flashlights are not necessary for this dive.
