Why go
Blue Corner sits in the Pacific Ocean off Palau, a wall and reef system where dives drop from shallow tops into deeper water. Dives run to 40 m with around 30 m visibility, strong currents and sea temperatures of 27–29°C. Marine highlights include grey reef sharks, mantas, turtles and schooling jacks. Best season is Nov–May, typically reached by boat. Built for experienced divers. An Advanced Open Water certification is recommended. Strong currents and dives to 40 m call for solid buoyancy and comfort at depth.

Clear water and the chance of turtles — what more do you want?
Reliable conditions and plenty of variety — I rate it highly for guiding.
Worth the journey — the Nov–May window is the time to go.
