Yellow Wall is a drift dive site on the east side of Peleliu, Palau, situated between Honeymoon Beach and the Peleliu Express channel. The wall drops from a shallowest point of 13 m down to 40 m and beyond, with a sloping reef platform covered in colourful soft corals sitting above the wall face.
The reef platform hosts an array of species typical of Peleliu's east coast: turtles, humphead wrasse (Napoleons), and bumphead parrotfish are regularly encountered here, alongside abundant reef fish across the soft-coral-covered slope.
Conditions run from moderate to strong current, which drives the drift along the wall and can deliver the sensation of flying. Visibility ranges from 13 m to 40 m or more. Current strength is variable and can at times be very powerful, so divers should be prepared for a long-distance drift and follow guide instructions closely.
Yellow Wall is recommended for Advanced Open Water certified divers and above. Strong current is the primary hazard; divers should stay with their guide, carry an SMB, and avoid straying onto the shallow reef platform where current can sweep a diver away.
