Comments	Billed as a whale watching and in water whale encounter/photography boat trip, aboard the Sun Dancer II which I dived from in Palau. This was a trip I could have skipped. It was a cattle boat with cliques of people who were not divers , except for 3 or 4 individuals. The captain was very rude, patronizing, and has serious anger management problems. We were very restricted on taking images of the few whales we did see. Of course they claimed it was "just that week" that we did not see many whales. I was put on a tender with strangers, not my dive buddy. Don't do this trip, it's a waste. too bad. Silver Bank is a unique place.
