Best Diving Site for Shark and Marine Life Exploration – Palau

The waters and marine life of Palau is known for its natural diversity. The exploration of giant clams, underwater caves, sunken wrecks, anemones, marine animals, including sharks and finally the Jellyfish Lake - all these things may be visited by divers, while on a trip to Palau.



The trip to the numerous dive sites lies through the scenic landscape, which features small islands covered in picturesque flora, slightly rising over turquoise waters of the Palau.



All year round, close to the #German Channel and Channel Ulong travelers get a unique opportunity to observe schools of trevally forming a large bowl and thereby attracting predators. In addition, the many experienced divers descend to great depths to take photos with nautilus mollusks.



The weather in October is usually great for diving, coming in November and December could be trickier, as this time of the year the impact of typhoons is more evident, so the rains make diving at certain sites impossible.



Heavy rains may also be observed in December, the water temperature, however, stays close to 27° C (80° F).
