About this dive site

This dive site is renowned as Blue Corner, located in Palau and consistently ranked among the world’s best. The site's unique formation and location frequently experience strong currents, a characteristic that fuels an incredible spectacle of marine life. Divers typically begin their descent, drifting along with these currents towards the corner, encountering large schools of fish actively feeding on smaller organisms. These abundant fish attract larger predators seeking prey, creating a dynamic scene of hunting behavior. Once reaching the plateau sheltered from the current, divers can relax and observe the exceptionally diverse sea-life surrounding them. Blue Corner offers a truly remarkable experience for those who appreciate powerful currents and abundant marine life. It’s a destination that many Palau visitors seek out due to its unparalleled beauty and distinctiveness.
