Dive-site story
Palau's Blue Holes features four distinct openings in the shallow reef plateau that funnel divers down into an expansive central cavern. Light beams stream through the ceiling apertures into the darkened chamber before opening out onto the outer drop-off, where divers often drift along the wall toward Blue Corner.
Sunlight piercing through multiple natural ceiling chimneys into the cavern
Large side exits leading directly out onto the vertical outer wall
Electric clams flashing within small alcoves along the cavern walls
Frequent continuation as a drift dive along the drop-off toward Blue Corner
