German Channel is an artificial channel dug into the Palau's barrier reef in the south-west that connects the lagoon to the Pacific Ocean. The channel was made by the Germans during the time when Palau was a German colony. Presently, it is a popular dive site.{{cite book |last=Rock |first=Tim |year=2000 |title=Lonely Planet Palau: Diving & Snorkeling |publisher=Pisces Books |isbn=1864500190 |pages=144}}{{cite book |last1=Cook |first1=Ben |last2=Marvin |first2=Lorry |last3=Lathe |first3=Chad |last4=McCrea |first4=Megan |last5=Lejkowski |first5=Christy |last6=Lejkowsk |first6=Rick |last7=Gall |first7=Michael |year=2010 |title=Micronesia and Palau |publisher=Other Places Publishing |isbn=978-0982261934 |pages=234}}
