Dive Trip to Palau – Macro to Mantas!

Join Mike Daust and Steve & Jolene on this journey to one of the world’s most amazing dive destinations!

We will be staying at the beautiful Palau Royale Resort. Home to its beautiful private beach, pool, restaurants, snorkeling area, marina, and much more!

The group will be staying in the Deluxe Harbor View rooms, located on the 5th and 6th floors of the hotel’s north wing overlooking the serene harbor, where you can enjoy a quiet scenic view of sailing yachts and cruisers. Enjoy the beautiful treescapes and flower beds around the pond viewed from the room’s balcony.

The Diving

Palau is considered one of the world’s premier dive destinations, with dozens of dive sites in a rare variety: walls with fascinating coral formations, reef corners where the currents attract sharks, rays and schooling fish, channels and other sandy bottom sites, tunnels, holes, caves and caverns, and plenty of WWII wrecks, freighters, and plane wrecks! From macro to mantas, Palau has it all!

We will be diving some of the world’s best dives sites:

• Blue Corner
• German Channel
• Ulong Channel
• Peleliu Wall
• Peleliu Express
• New Drop Off
• Ngemelis Coral Gardens
• Blue Holes
• Helmet Wreck
• Jellyfish Lake

Depending on your daily schedule, most boats return to Fish ‘n Fins around 3-4 p.m. You can hop right back into the water, with your unlimited free dives on Fish-n-Fins house reef, where crazy critters and marine life can be found alone with a small WWII Wreck.

Palau for NON-Divers

Palau is an amazing destination for non-divers as well! Not only does Palau have world class snorkeling, but it also has an amazing history.   You will want to take in the land tour of Peleliu Island.  This seemingly peaceful island is home to the battleground of Orange Beach.   It’s landscape is home to the Japanese war tunnel system and is the venue of the battle of Peleliu, which became one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific during WWII.  Many artifacts around the island bring the tragic history of Peleliu back to life.

German Lighthouse and archaeological hiking Ulong Island tours are also available.  The beautiful scenery of the Rock Islands is unmatched and can easily be seen on a guided or self-guided kayak tour.
