Diving in Palau Part II: Blue Corner


Up close & personal with some misunderstood friends
By far the most well-known dive site in Palau is called Blue Corner. It truly is a fantastic site due to the massive amount of life and variation you can see all in one dive. It’s like you are in the world’s best aquarium, often you don’t know where to look first. You could endlessly watch the 20 or so sharks slowly gliding mere metres from you. You could play with the extremely large Napoleon Wrasse fish which I once heard someone refer to as the puppy dog of the sea. You could get right up close to a massive school of around 50 Great Barracuda that are almost always just hanging out near the corner. And only last week I saw a group of 5 Marlin cruise above the corner. Don’t forget all the beautiful coral, like the soft anemone coral complete with various versions of Nemo’s. If the current is strong you can ‘hook’ into the reef and just sit back with the current washing over you while checking out everything that there is to see.
