Diving the World War II Wrecks of Palau: Helmet Wreck

Join the DayDream Adventure Team in Palau and dive the 60m / 200ft long cargo ship Teshio Maru. Helmet wreck is definitely a “must do” wreck in Palau. The post war salvage operations did clearly miss this one and thanks to that, it is still very intact and contains a lot of interesting stuff to explore. The name “Helmet wreck” comes from the amount of Helmets that can be seen stacked together in the ship. Since identifying the ship has been without any success, the name is still used. At discovery in the 80´s wreck researcher also called it the “Depth charge wreck” referring to all the depth chargers lying around in the wreck holds.
