Comments	Palau remains my favorite dive location worldwide. Aggressor provides a dependable, if somewhat structured, week of excellent liveaboard diving in this splendid region. Crew, particularly Captain Jeff and divemaster/photographer Doug were extraordinarily friendly, helpful and fun to be with. Local crew members were terrific sources of information and equally friendly. The food was a little disappointing because of the lack of fresh fish available the week we were there. Kitchen did very well with what they had and you never get a chance to be hungry. Warm towels on the dive deck when you get out of the water. Skiff is raised and lowered hydraulically at rear dive deck so access is the best of any liveaboard I have done. Don't bother taking sweats for cool evenings if you go in the spring. . .it never got cool. Palau is a long way away and merits sticking around or tagging on another location since you have to fly so far to get there, but don't miss this place. The Aggressor trip is a bit pricey but worth every penny of it.
