About Turtle Cove

Unlike the name suggests, there are unfortunately not many turtles here. Turtle Cove's roots go back many years to when Hawksbill Turtles used Ngercheu Island's beach to lay their eggs. The dive begins by entering a small blue hole (9' wide) on top of the reef and then reveals a breathtaking wall and large cavern, where there are all sort of nooks and crannies to explore. Visibility is 50' 100'. Location: Palau's SW reef - the western point of Ngercheu Island.
