| Comments | Our group of five including two snorkelers chartered the boat and crew for seven days of diving. In spite of some rain on two days we saw all of the best diving and snorkeling. We have visited Palau on nine earlier trips so we knew the dive sites well. Three crew members got us to the best spots for weather and always included a great experience for our snorkelers. Corals were healthy, loaded with reef fish, sharks, mantas, turtles. Beautiful walls and drop offs, current dives were as good as we can remember. Previous trips included the Sun Tamarin, Aggressor and several land based with Fish and Fins. Our very experienced divers did not need any hand holding from the crew but they were first rate at helping us in and out of the water, setting up and caring for all the gear and even provided hooded raincoats during a couple of downpours. The boat was fast, comfortable and covered for sun protection. Cellphones have replaced VHF and other marine radios for communications. The resort was A+ . | ||
