Dive-site story
Siaes Corner sits along the western barrier reef of Palau, where an oceanic wall intersects the open ocean and creates a gathering point for pelagic predators. When incoming tides hit the point, divers deploy reef hooks on the plateau lip to hover effortlessly while grey reef sharks patrol the blue. Below the plateau edge, the wall plunges vertically into the abyss, adorned with large sea fans, soft corals, and schools of schooling fish.

Seasonality
Palau offers diving throughout the year, but the northeast trade wind season generally provides the calmest surface conditions on western sites.
