Wreck Diving
Palau was a strategically important area during the Second World War in the crossfire between Japanese and Americans. To counteract the inevitable American air strikes, the Japanese sought refuge in the shallow lagoons of the Rock Islands. This strategy was not particularly successful - which today gives divers countless opportunities to dive wrecks at a depth of 15-17 meters.
