Dive-site story
Situated along the outer barrier reef system of southwest Palau, this vertical drop-off plummets into the deep blue ocean. Resident sea turtles rest along small ledges and crevices or feed on the sponges growing along the vertical face. Clear oceanic water frequently sweeps past the reef, carrying schools of pelagic fish and sharks along the wall edge while the reef top supports hard coral gardens.
