Travel Reports » Diving reports from Palau

When we studied Palau before our trip, we often encountered the name Peleliu. Peleliu is a state of Palaus and is located about 50 kilometers southwest of the city of Koror. The island had interested us for two reasons: On the one hand, some of the most beautiful dive sites of Palaus are to be found here and on the other hand you can see some relics from the Second World War.

In addition to the well-known dive sites in Palau such as the German Channel and the Blue Corner, we have also dived and explored other places with Fish ‘n Fins.

On today’s diving day, when we already had two dives in the southern lagoon, we went back to the diving school of Fish ‘n Fins. Here we briefly loaded new diving bottles onto the boat, because today we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do a third dive. This usually goes to Jake Seaplane,just 5 minutes from Koror. We didn’t want to miss that. On Aruba we already had the opportunity to see a plane underwater and were …

The dive site German Channel is at least as famous as the Blue Corner. This is mainly due to the fact that the German Channel is considered THE Manta Hot Spot in Palau. And on the other hand, maybe a little because of his story, how it came about and how he got his name.

Whether on the Internet or in diving magazines: the Blue Corner is considered one of the best dive sites in the world. After reading a lot about diving in Palau beforehand, we were curious to see what to expect there.

Many people have asked us how we actually came to Palau as a destination. Well, the real reason were the breathtaking Rock Islands,which we had already seen on many pictures and in reports and of course the diving.
