Palau - Glimpses of wreck diving

Palau was an important site in WWII, and this now-tourist attraction, was a place of struggle between the Japanese and Allied forces. Consequently, there are quite a few Japanese shipwrecks in the inner bays around Koror Island on which you can scuba dive. In the inner lagoon, the visibility is often limited because of not much water flushing over the barrier reefs, and this same condition is probably the reason there is not much coral or marine growth on the wrecks. Still, this adds a dimension of mystery and discovery to the dive. This clip is a compilation of a look at 8 different wrecks around the Koror Island area. There are some that still have “live” depth charges, and interesting artifacts. See what things you can identify after 60+ years of them sitting in a watery grave. Filmed from November 2014 to January 2015.
