All about Helmet Wreck dive site

Wreck
Helmet Wreck is one of Palau’s most accessible and historically rich WWII wreck dives, named for the military helmets found among the remains. It has a compact, atmospheric profile, with wartime cargo, marine growth, and reef fish gathered around the structure.
