Corals
The Iro Maru is a site south of Koror Island that is attractive to divers because of its 45m/145ft-long sunken merchant ship that is sitting upright in 37m/120ft of water. The parts of the shipwreck that are still intact include three masts, gun turrets, and the main deck, with oil drums and machinery. It is easy to enter the Iro Maru, but divers should watch for some light currents
