THE
GIANT CLAM The Giant Clam (Tridacna giga) can grow up to
a meter or more in length and weigh up to 180 kilograms.
They have primitive eyes within them and can actually see
your shadow.
They are found in abundance on the reefs surrounding Palau.
BEGINNER
LEVEL :: DRIFT DIVE / WALL DIVE / CORAL
GARDEN This
dive is one of Palau’s best kept secrets - and one of our
favorite dives. The best time to dive Ulong Channel is on an
incoming tide and preferably when the incoming current is strong.
There are three things about this dive that make it special:
1. a beautiful
wall with nice table corals. 2. lots of shark action at the mouth
of the channel and 3. the drift along the channel itself.
If the current is strong there will be as many or more
sharks concentrated
at
the
mouth
of
the
channel as at Blue Corner on a good
day.
You
will hook in at the mouth of the channel enjoy the show - then
unhook and enter the channel for the drift dive of
your life. With a good, strong current
you will be swept deep into the channel, which eventually just
stops in
shallow water. Inside the channel
you will pass one of the prettiest patches of reef in
all of
Palau.
There
is an entire hill of cabbage coral, each leaf stuffed with
hiding fish. We like to call it the “fish condominiums”.
To top off a great dive, your safety stop will be in shallow
water around a giant clam.
