Itinerary: Full Moon Spawning

Get ready for a very special diving adventure in Palau.

Palau is proudly considered one of the world’s top 5 scuba diving destinations. It is famous for its beautiful dive sites, incredible underwater scenery, and amazing marine life.

Some of Palau’s best-known dive sites include:

  • Blue Corner
  • German Channel
  • Peleliu Wall
  • Big Drop-Off

Full Moon Spawning

This trip is timed around the full moon so we can experience one of Palau’s most exciting underwater events.

For several days leading up to and around the full moon, two huge groups of Red Snappers gather to spawn in two different locations.

As the sun rises, we begin the dive.

A huge group of snapper rises up from the deep water to spawn. Seeing this natural event is like watching an underwater fireworks display filled with energy and excitement.

The spawning also attracts some of Palau’s biggest predators, including:

  • Bull sharks
  • Oceanic blacktips
