Peleliu Express

Peleliu Express lies off Peleliu Island at the southern end of Palau's Rock Islands, where channel currents sweep along a steep wall drop-off. It reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated an advanced dive, largely due to the strong, often ripping currents that give the site its name and the down currents divers have reported along the wall. Drifting or hooking in along the edge, divers have reported bull sharks, eagle rays, grouper, sea turtles, and even orca passing in the blue, though the current itself demands as much attention as the marine life.
