GERMAN WALL / CHANNEL

Dive Site:
•  During the German occupation of Palau , Guano (phosphate) was mined on the southern island of Angaur
•  In order to bring the Guano to town, the Germans blasted and dredged a channel, which connects the inner lagoon with the open ocean
•  The outside mouth is dived on the incoming tide, when the nutrient & plankton rich current will flow into the inner lagoon
•  Known for Manta Rays, schooling sharks & an abundance of tropical fish

Marine Life:
•  Schooling Jacks, Barracudas, Trevally & Snappers
•  Cuttlefish & Black Tip reef sharks in the shallows
•  Sandy bottom is home to Garden eels & blind Gobies
•  Mantas can usually be seen feeding on plankton at the mouth of the channel
•  Both Mantas & Reef sharks are know to get cleaned by cleaner wrasse & Butterfly fish at the cleaning stations in the late afternoon
•  Mantas will approach a cleaning station a couple of times before they hover over the station to get cleaned.
