Dive-site story
Shark City lies on the western barrier reef system of Palau, situated where the reef structure juts out into open ocean currents. The site consists of a finger-like coral ridge that slopes toward a sheer vertical drop into deep blue water. Because currents sweep past this headland, pelagic predators gather in significant numbers along the plateau edge.
