Palau divesites day 5: Siaes Tunnel + Siaes Corner


Four dives in a day, the most I've done so far!  And what a day...  The best diving I've ever had!  Not to mention snorkelling...  Great spots in between dives.  I was looking at Siaes corner from the surface while we had to wait for our turn:  Black and silver trevallies in the thralls of love, sharks, napoleons, barracudas...  Viz very good!



Siaes Tunnel

35 meters, 65 minutes.  Nice cave, bottom in about 50 meters.  Entrance 27 meters and consequently the roof of the cave in 26-27 meters.  Beautiful soft corals on the walls and roof of the cave.  Somebody at the bottom filming a small fish that lives there...
After the cave a very nice wall with nudibranches and lots of corals.  Big napoleons and sharks in addition to the smaller fry ever present.  Lots and lots of different fishes, butterflies to angels!




Siaes Corner

20 meters, 65 minutes.  Very pleasant dive, a nice wall!  Lots of things to see from small fishes to big ones, like pyramid butterflies, sergeant majors, yellowtail fusiliers, local square antheas and different angelfish.  Nice plateau at 12 m with sharks chasing trevallies at the edge, lots of colourful juveniles among the beautiful corals and of course, turtles.
