Palau Day 11 - Thursday, December 2, 2010

Yet another great day of diving. We did three dives today. The first dive was at the wreck of the Iro Maru. The visibility was really bad but it was interesting to dive a true wreck. We did get to see a large school of mackerel. Eric and I have both come to the conclusion that we would not want to spend an entire vacation diving nothing but wrecks though.

The second dive was at Siaes Tunnel. On this dive you drop down the side of a wall and then enter the large tunnel opening and swim through to the other side. The visibility was actually pretty good on this dive.

After our second dive we went ashore on Ulong Island (the site of Survivor Palau) and had lunch. After lunch we wandered down the beach and in the rocks found a couple sea snakes and got some pictures.

Our third dive was at Ulong channel. This was our fourth dive at Ulong Channel but probably the best dive there so far. We got some pretty good shark footage/pictures and saw a bunch of turtles, two lobsters, and tons of nesting triggerfish which were becoming very aggressive protecting their eggs.
