Comments	Our fourth trip to Palau and our fourth trip with FishNFins. Even though the boat rides take about an hour to the dive sites, they are fun and interesting trips, the Rock Islands and other sites are beautiful and we took a number of side trips. We appreciate this operation and their attention to detail, especially as one of us is a snorkeler. The diving was, as always, wonderful with the coral making a strong comeback after bleaching episodes several years ago and lots of small and large fish life. Blue Corner, Blue Hole, Ulong Passage, Turtle Cove and Turtle Corner all great dives. We also went to several other locations (downed seaplanes, harbor dives) which were very interesting. We strongly recommended FishNFins! They also have a great restaurant serving fresh food too. The hote we stayed at was clean, big rooms and a five minute walk from the dive shop (if you didn't want to get a ride). We had a great time!
