Welcome to Siaes Corner, a hidden gem among the Western Reef system of Palau. As you venture to this dive site, you will be greeted by crystal clear waters, where visibility ranges from 45 to 120 feet (15 to 40 meters) depending on the tides. This dive site is perfect for novice to intermediate divers, as the diving depths range from the surface to the top of the reef, which is between 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters), up to a maximum depth of 120 to 160 feet (40 to 53 meters) at the bottom.

The highlight of Siaes Corner is the vertical drop that starts about 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters) below the surface. As you descend, you will be amazed by the vibrant colors of the reef, as well as the diverse marine life that inhabits it. During the incoming tide, large schools of Gray Reef Sharks, barracudas, and jacks patrol the edge of the reef, adding to the thrill of the dive.

As you explore the top and edge of the reef, you will encounter a variety of fish, including Pyramid Butterflyfish, Square Anthias, Moorish Idols, Sergeant Majors, and Yellowtail Fusiliers. Along the wall, you will spot Blueface, Regal, and Emperor Angelfish, adding a touch of elegance to the already magnificent scenery. If you're lucky, you might even come across the elusive Hawksbill and Green turtles, who are not camera shy and can be easily approached.

As you drift towards the corner, keep an eye out for the unique anemone fish. You will notice that there is one fish larger than the rest. This is the female, and if removed, the dominant male will change sex and become the female - a fascinating marvel of nature.

While the dive may be challenging due to the strong currents, the use of reef hooks will make it more enjoyable. However, it is crucial to avoid hooking onto living coral and find a rock or patch of dead coral to avoid causing damage.

Overall, Siaes Corner is a must-visit dive site for anyone seeking an unforgettable underwater adventure. With its stunning coral formations and diverse marine life, it's no surprise that this site is considered one of the best in Palau. So, come and explore the underwater world of Siaes Corner - you won't be disappointed!
