Palau - what a place to dive!

[Juergen_187]

It's the world's first shark sanctuary, a huge area where sharks are protected....and you can see that! Nowhere else I've seen so many sharks around, getting close up, enjoying the current, it's fantastic. But Palau is much more...

This is my homage to Palau - thank you to the crew of the 7th wonder dive center who helped me and became my cast. I hope you like it!

Good video! Palau is on my list too. What was the visibility? Have you noticed any coral bleaching?

Hi, thanks! We've been there twice in 2017, visibility was good to very good overall, I only remember the site around jake seaplane with a bit reduced visibility of below 20 meters. Corals look very good, hardly any bleaching. The only thing we were missing there was the Jellyfish lake, we were told they almost all died during an El Nino phase. Now, it seems they're back in great numbers...

Thanks a lot.....yeah, Blue Corner was really outstanding. Never before I've seen so many sharks around, getting close and even rolling backwards, enjoying the current. And overall it's a very abundant, great site.
