Comments	We dove here as a small group of 6. Reservations were easy using email. Of note the 13 hour time change caused delays in responses. Once here the local crew arranged transportation and hotel. They also helped us with dinner reservations. Palau Royal Hotel very nice and convenient. On a dock for easy boat pickups. Food good, our booking included breakfast. Rooms nicely sized and well appointed. About 95% Asian clientele. Nice pool. Diving was excellent. Small boat. Made for 7 passengers. Open with canvas canopy. With driver and 1-2 divemasters it was very cramped. Nitrox fills varied between 31-33. Water and emergency equipment on board. Hot tea/coffee after first dive. Lunch on boat (bento boxes). Boat rides consistently 1 hour. Diving was very good. Back rolls off gunwale. Dove as a group. Many choices for sites. Great service. They stored gear overnight. Lots of help with entry/exit. Sites appeared in good shape. Lots of critters. Our second dive at Blue Corner was one of the best dives of my life. One caution - do not bother with night dive. Their access to the reef is limited. We dove a wreck and it was terrible.
