Susan and others "hooked it" at Blue Corner

on of our spring break on this island. The waters off of Palau offer divers some of the best diving opportunities in the world. We dove with Sam's Dive Tours and had some pretty exciting dives. The most exciting dive was at a place called "The Blue Corner." The current is so strong here that each diver needs a reef hook to "hook into" the reef in order to keep from being "blown away" with the current. We hooked in and watched the sharks, schools of Barracuda, Napoleon Wrasse, and numerous other creatures swim by. Gary captured a lot of our underwater adventures on film. It will DEFINITELY be hard to beat this dive site!

Giant clams (about 1' across)

We saw lots of these!
