Palau scuba diving and Palau liveaboard diving has made this Pacific island nation a world-renowned dive destination for those seeking adventure and big animal encounters. Schools of sharks, manta rays, adrenaline-pumping drift dives, and beautiful soft coral walls are the essence of Micronesia scuba diving.

Diving in Micronesia brings you face to face with the awe-inspiring soft coral reefs. Manta rays thrive in these water.  Well-preserved WWII wrecks make it a favorite for wreck diving.  And if wreck diving is your passion, you’ll definitely want to look into Palau live-aboard diving packages for your Ultimate Dive experience!

Scuba diving in Palau is full of excitement for new scuba divers and seasoned scuba divers alike. The main attraction for scuba divers in Palau is the sharks. Grey reef sharks and white-tip reef sharks are the most common sharks found on the reefs in Palau, but scuba divers also have the chance to spot hammerheads and silvertip sharks, which are often found cruising the waters off the southern island of Peleliu.

The most famous of all dive sites in Palau is Blue Corner, where scuba divers ride the current to the wall crest and attach themselves to the rocky ledges using reef hooks. The reef hooks allow divers to remain stationary as they marvel at the large school of grey reef and black tip reef sharks swimming effortlessly against the current right before their eyes.  Palau scuba diving packages for Blue Corner provide an unforgettable shark-watching experience!  Call Ultimate Dive today and book the Palau scuba diving trip or Palau liveaboard diving trip of your dreams!

Peleliu Island

For the experienced scuba diver who wants to get the entire Micronesia scuba diving experience, a trip to Peleliu Island is a must! Currents collide along the steep wall off the southern tip of Peleliu Island, making for an exciting drift dive complete with more reef sharks and the chance encounter with silvertip and hammerheads.

But while the sharks of Palau have put this island community on the scuba diving map, there is much more that constitutes Micronesia scuba diving. Most of the scuba diving in Palau is centered on an area known as the German Channel.  Built to facilitate shipping in the 1900s, the mouth of the German Channel is approximately 75-feet deep and is home to garden eels, octopus, and countless smaller tropical fish species.  Manta rays frequent the site, as do sharks and larger pelagic marine life.  A favorite of live-aboard scuba diving trip destination!  Call us today and learn about the live-aboard scuba diving packages available!

Jellyfish Lake of Palau

Jellyfish Lake is a completely isolated lake home to millions of docile jellyfish. Millions of years ago, the waters of the world began to recede, leaving a saltwater lake suspended in the hills of the rock islands.

With no natural predators left to threaten them, the jellyfish have lost the vast majority of their stinging cells, making Jellyfish Lake of Palau a perfect destination for snorkelers or scuba divers looking to experience another side of Micronesia and Palau.

A majestic site, the likes of which is not to be found anywhere else in the world!
