About this site

Peleliu Wall lies off the southern tip of Peleliu island in Palau, where the reef drops away into deep water at the corner known as Peleliu Corner or Peleliu Express. It is known for dramatic drift diving along a sheer wall, with divers commonly encountering grey reef sharks, big schools of barracuda and jacks, and occasional passing pelagics like tuna or eagle rays. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 42 metres and is rated an advanced dive, with down currents reported at the corner. Divers have also reported parrotfish, tuna, and whale sharks passing through, alongside the more typical wall life.
