Alii (Hello) Everyone!
The PADI Diving
Society and TY Sawyer are headed for Palau in
September 2010. Yes, PALAU!
PADI Travel
Network along with hosts
Sam's Tours
and
Palau Royal Resort are set for this
awesome event
September
15-24, 2010. Sam's and Palau Royal are known for
their Five Star service and attention to
detail
,
you will not be
disappointed.
Palau,
the eighth marine wonder of the world is known for
its world-class diving, including famous sites like
Blue Corner, German Channel and Ulong Channel.
Experience drift diving over spectacular walls,
explore WWII wrecks and amazing close encounters with
exotic marine life. In September 2009 Palau was named
the world's first Shark Sanctuary so you'll see
plenty of
these
magnificent creatures first-hand. Palau's wonders
are
not just limited to the sea - the breathtaking
Rock
Islands
are a sight worth traveling for and a
snorkeling
trip
to famous Jellyfish Lake will show you that not all
jellyfish are created equal.
Pricing starts at
$2250 US per person for eight nights accommodations,
five days of three tank boat dives, three meals
daily, free enriched air, and much
more.
And
with all the Society shenanigans you can handle
(aka,
parties, contests, prizes and your loyal
staff!)
you
wont want to miss this week. I hope you'll
consider joining
us in Palau and discover where the rainbow truly
ends.
