Chandelier Cave

If you dive into Chandelier Cave, you'll see why it's called that. Five rooms with stalactites and stalagmite formations are ready to be explored. In scuba diving jargon, the place is called "cave," however it is actually underwater caverns.

In terms of diving, the main distinction between a cavern and a cave is that a cavern allows you to see the entry light. The light of the entrance may be seen all the way to the far end of Chandelier Cave. Underwater visibility in caves is usually excellent if the cave floor is not disturbed.

The name Chandelier Cave comes from the unique stalactites and limestone structures that have grown over millennia and resemble lovely chandeliers. Shrimps and crabs live in the sponges in the caverns, and if you're lucky, you could even encounter the elusive Mandarin Fish.

This dive's maximum depth is roughly 10 meters. If you turn off your torch, you'll be thrown into full darkness at first, but if you wait a few minutes, the cave's entrance will appear in a dim glimmer. Perhaps not a dive for those who dislike enclosed confines, but certainly one to remember! Many visitors consider this to be one of the Best Diving Sites in Palau.
