Mention Palau to an ordinary individual and most probably he or she will mention of an island in the Pacific Ocean. Mention the same word to scuba divers and adventurers and you will get mountains of metaphors and similes and personifications. All of them bringing Palau into good light.
And who could blame them? One can bask in Palaus glory with or without the scuba diving equipment. Palau has some of the worlds finest beaches and diving spots. The scenes under the waters of Palau offers divers and snorkel swimmers the beauty no one can find elsewhere. The corals, the fishes, the ecology of that makes Palaus underwater scenes are truly a sight to behold.
But if you think that Palaus magic can be found on the ocean, then clearly. You do not know Palau. Theres more to Palau than diving spots and fine beaches and World War II shipwrecks (yeah, they have sunken battle cruisers, destroyers, fighter planes and other war vessels from the Second World War scuttled and shot down in their waters). In the middle of the islands are saltwater lakes. How these lakes came to be are beyond me. Leave the prying to scientists and the native storytellers. But it is not the lake...
