ORANGE BEACH (PELELIU)

April 19 - Dive No. 41 Max Depth: 63' - Dive Time: 53 min

Log: Wonderful, wonderful dive! Beautiful, large coral. Drift dive over coral gardens. The other group saw two more crocodile fish. We also saw a pretty nudibranch (black w/white and yellow spots). Also saw some wreckage from the US amphibious assault during WWII. The US marines attacked the Japanese at the wrong time (low tide) and were stranded on the coral, resulting in a massacre.
