The famous rock islands of Palau in Micronesia are breathtaking when seen from land. Once you submerge under the green waters it continue to be awe inspiring. Scuba diving in Palau is challenging to get to but once you are there it is worth the trip. Found just east of the Philippines, this archipelago is the largest shark sanctuary in the world. Diving with these remarkable animals is a must do experience.
Sharks frequent the renowned dive site “Blue Corner” to float in the ocean currents. This dive site requires reef hooks so that divers can casually watch the sharks as they swim by.
Palau also has one of the most unique dive sights in the world – Jelly Fish Lake. During the last ice age these jelly fish were trapped at an inland lake without any predators. Over thousands of years they have evolved and have lost their stingers making them completely harmless to swim with. Without predators, they have thrived on the algae found in the lake multiplying to millions within the lake.
