Channel site — tidal current funnels through here and can run fast, changing quickly with the tide. It is usually strongest around mid-tide and eases near the slack windows below. Dive with a local operator who knows the timing.

About this site

Peleliu Wall is a drift dive site located at Peleliu in Palau, running along sheer vertical walls from the surface down to 42 metres and beyond. The dive direction—north or south—depends on the tide, and the wall offers visibility ranging from 20 to 50 metres or more.

The site suits advanced divers, with AOW certification and Nitrox recommended due to moderate to strong currents and the depth of the wall. Divers should monitor depth and no-decompression limits carefully throughout the dive, as down currents are a known hazard here.

Pelagic encounters are a highlight, with tuna, billfish, whale sharks, and large schools of parrotfish all associated with this site. The combination of sheer wall terrain and open-water exposure draws these larger species depending on tidal and current conditions.
