Top Dive Sites in Palau / Micronesia
Blue Corner is a dive site that holds in itself many divers dreams... it's just a matter of timing! Although just about everyone wants to dive it, it is not a dive site for every diver to try out. As a matter of fact, the currents can be extremely strong and unsettle many a beginners. If it comes from the East and mixes with rich upwellings, then you're in for a treat: reef sharks by the dozen, large shoals of trevallies (jacks) and barracudas, sometimes manta rays and even whale-sharks come in to feast on the plankton-rich waters! The reef life is also very dense and diverse, though it is rarely the purpose and focus of the visiting divers...
The reef runs as a 10m deep ridge for quite a while then drops onto a ledge around 15m, and from there plunges into the abyss, into the blue! Pay attention to your guide and be reactive to the his/her directions to stay safe in the current.
With a little experience and patience, Blue Corner will soon make a dashing entry in your TOP 5 dive sites!
