The LST is a sunken landing ship located in the waters of Koror and Babeldaob, Palau. Resting at depths between 18 and 31 metres, this wreck requires boat access and is situated 500 metres from shore. Divers encounter mild currents, though conditions can vary, with visibility ranging from 5 to 18 metres. This site is suited for intermediate divers due to the significant depth and the presence of overhead environments within the hull. Divers should maintain awareness of air consumption and entanglement risks while exploring the structure. Proper buoyancy control is essential, and bottom time should be carefully planned to manage no-decompression limits effectively.

Confirm current conditions with your boat operator on the day, as local knowledge will tell you which sections of the wreck are accessible safely.
Access is primarily via boat from Koror or Malakal.
