Diving & Shipwrecks

Palau’s waters around Koror preserve a significant chapter of WWII history alongside unique geological formations. This collection features accessible shipwrecks like the Helmet Wreck and Ryuko Maru, which still contain wartime artifacts and equipment. It also includes Chandelier Cave, a system of four interconnected limestone chambers filled with stalactites. Established dive centers like Fish 'n Fins and Sam's Tours provide the necessary logistical support, equipment, and guided access to these historic sites and the surrounding coral reefs.
