Peleliu Wall - Rock Islands

Peleliu Wall offers some serious diving, usually kicking off near Peleliu Cut. We’ve found ourselves hooking in around 10 meters, immediately met by grey reef sharks, whitetips, and schools of jacks and barracuda swirling past. As you descend towards 30 meters, the wall itself becomes a labyrinth of small caverns and indentations, decorated with massive sea fans and plenty of black coral. Currents here can be absolutely ripping, so it’s definitely one for divers comfortable with a fast drift and good buoyancy control.
