Best for intermediate divers, 30-40m, boat entry, mild current.
Fana Island features a wall and drop-off that descends to depths between 30 and 40 metres. Divers can expect consistent visibility of 30 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers due to the depth and potential for shifting currents. Access is strictly by boat to avoid dangerous surf and shore breaks. Divers should maintain active depth monitoring to manage risks associated with nitrogen narcosis and decompression. When surfacing, remain vigilant for boat traffic and deploy a surface marker buoy early. While mild currents are typical, they can intensify with tidal movement, requiring careful planning with your dive operator.

Deploy your SMB early on ascent as boat traffic around Peleliu can be active, and a drifting diver without one is hard to spot. Confirm current conditions with your operator before the dive, as the mild baseline can intensify with tidal movement around the island.
