SAM'S TOURS
PALAU DIVING
Palau is world renown for marine bio-diversity and an abundance of large pelagic animals that includes schools of sharks and lots of manta rays. Our warm clear tropical waters are legendary amongst divers for dramatic coral encrusted walls rising from the depths to within inches of the surface. Home to over 1,300 species of fish and more than 700 species of coral, Palau also offers exciting wreck diving with one of the Pacific's largest collection of intact WWII shipwrecks and plane wrecks.
Palau is a divers dream! A true “one stop shop” when it comes to diving! From sheltered coral gardens filled with colorful reef fishes and lots of turtles to current swept plateaus patrolled by schools of sharks and barracudas, Palau offers a wide and wonderful range of diving for divers of every interest and skill level. Healthy reefs, stunning walls, beautiful hard corals and soft corals, lots of sharks, huge mantas, turtles on every dive and huge schools of fish, tiny seahorses, elusive mandarinfish and lots and lots of tiny critters, all topped off with an amazing collection of WWII wrecks! Whatever your diving pleasure, level of interest or experience level, Palau diving is sure to please!
Palau's richly abundant waters also provide wonderful leisurely snorkeling and free-diving too! See turtles, sharks, barracuda and multitudes of colorful reef fish as you glide over dazzling coral reefs.
The majority of diving in Palau consists of drift diving along the beautiful walls, plateaus and coral gardens of the outer barrier reef, a forty minute boat ride through the picturesque rock islands. While you dive the boat follows along from the surface to meet you upon ascent. Our dive boats leave the dive center before 9:00 a.m. and return late afternoon. We are open every day of the year and offer a choice of two-tank trips or three-tank trips.
