Unforgettable experience in a beautiful sea of paradise!
Amazing experience aboard the Palau Aggressor II. Taffy was an awesome cruise director and dive guide. Jim was also an amazing dive guide, even as the captain, pointing out all sorts of marine life! Endless sharks and incredible marine life.

It's the third time we've gone to the Aggressor in Palau and it never disappoints. The diving operations are fantastic and the boat in which you go to the dives is very comfortable. The guides are very good and are on the lookout if you need it. The dive sites are wonderful, although we did not have the best luck since there was a typhoon nearby and they had to restructure the itinerary somewhat. The visibility was not the best but we were still able to enjoy a good week of diving.The food is exceptional, very careful and of quality. At dinner there is wine and beer (if you don't do the night dive afterwards, of course).The crew is very friendly and they are attentive to any needs.In general, a ten.

Great dives, boat and crew!
Best dive and liveaboard experience to date. Special shout-out to the crew - Jim, Star, Jake, Ronnie, Jay, Jun, Johnny and Ana - for their diligence, attention to details and camaraderie. The hot face towel after each dive was a great touch. Dives were some of the best I’ve done, each different from the other. DMs allowed us to explore flexibly but were also great spotters of their own. I was a solo traveller and am thankful to befriend a GREAT group of very experienced divers! There is no other LOB in Palau you wanna be on. Will be returning to see the full/new moon spawnings.

Best way to enjoy diving in Palau!
We had a chance to see the bumphead parrotfish spawning, had a great manta encounter in German channel, enjoyed the resident Napoleon wrasse at Blue corner, and had Jellyfish lake to ourselves towards the end of the trip!

Awesome week exploring underwater Palau
I had a great week diving aboard the Palau Aggressor II! We saw some spectacular shark, manta, and schooling jack activity at the famed dives sites of German Channel and Blue Corner. Also saw turtles galore throughout the week, did some drift dives, and experienced some gnarly currents on hook dives. The dive guides were sagacious in their choice of dive sites, but also accommodating; they let us repeat Blue Corner several times because most of the divers asked to. Although we didn't visit Jellyfish Lake due to the lack of jellyfish, I enjoyed almost every dive site that we went to because the divemasters kept things fresh by selecting sites that had different things to offer (drift vs hook vs swim, wall vs reef vs sand vs coral garden, pelagic life vs macro life, etc.), particularly as the week went on. The night dives were also very fun for me. Additionally, I appreciated the large camera table with provided wipe cloths, air dusters, and charging ports. Like many things aboard the Aggressor II, it was clear that every detail was thought through to make the experience as comfortable and convenient as possible for divers. The food was also delicious; the menu changed daily and featured a huge variety of cuisines, including Italian, Russian, Japanese, Filipino, North American, and Mexican. Huge kudos to Taffy, Jim, Johnny, Ronnie, Jun, Ike, Ramil, and Edith for running such a smooth operation and being incredibly professional but also friendly and helpful. You guys definitely made my first diving experience in Palau one to remember!

🌊 Unforgettable Scuba Experience in Palau – A Dream Come True!
From the moment we stepped aboard, we were wrapped in warmth, hospitality, and breathtaking beauty. The staff was absolutely delightful—friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile. Their care and expertise made our first experience with Hook diving not only safe but exhilarating. Gliding through the turquoise waters and weaving between the majestic Rock Islands felt like swimming through a living postcard. 🍽️ Ramil’s Culinary Magic Every meal was a masterpiece! Ramil knocked it out of the ballpark with vibrant colors, rich textures, and flavors that danced on the palate. Each dish was a delectable delight, presented with stunning artistry. His creations nourished both body and soul. 🧼 Editha’s Gentle Touch Editha’s joyful spirit was a constant blessing. Always smiling, she tended to our cabins with meticulous care—on her hands and knees, ensuring every detail was fresh and perfect. Her dedication brought a sense of peace and order that made our stay feel like home. 🤿 Dive Team Excellence Jim, Jun, Johnny, and Ronnie were the backbone of our underwater adventures. Their expertise and cheerful support made every dive smooth and joyful. Whether helping us gear up or guiding us through challenges, they lifted the experience—literally and figuratively. Watching Jim surf-ride his scuba fin through the Ulong Channel was a highlight we’ll never forget! 🛥️ Taffy – The Heart of the Liveaboard Taffy is a gem. Personable, intuitive, and endlessly accommodating, he made the liveaboard setting feel like a family gathering. He answered every question with grace, solved concerns with ease, and had a gift for making everyone feel seen and valued. His presence was a steady source of comfort and joy. 🌬️ Starr – Skiff Captain Extraordinaire Navigating high swells and windy waters with skill and calm, Starr was a master of the skiff. His conversations were rich with cultural insight, and he welcomed every question with warmth and wisdom. He added depth to our journey—both literally and figuratively. --- This trip was more than a vacation—it was a tapestry of beauty, connection, and adventure. Every team member played a part in making it unforgettable. We left with full hearts, deeper friendships, and memories that will ripple through our lives for years to come. 💙

Exceptional Ship and Exceptional Destination
Everything has been fantastic. The diving operation is exceptional, the boat from which the dives are made is very comfortable. There are always three dive guides on the dives. The cabins are very comfortable, spacious and the food is excellent. The crew makes everything easy for you, they are always aware of your needs. In short, everything is perfect. The destination is wonderful, with unique immersion points in the world: blue corner, ulong channel, german channel... It's worth getting there.

Palau Aggressor II - An epic adventure since 1996
We loved the week we had on the Palau Aggressor II. The staff was super professional and made our trip so memorable! It was my 7th dive trip to Palau, but my first liveaboard to Ulong Channel, German Channel, the reefs of Blue Corner … and Peleliu. The long experienced Palau Aggressor II offers this epic adventure since 1996. Doń ´t look any further for a comprehensive week of diving Palau ´s best dive sites. All of the staff was absolutely wonderful, the food was great and we will definitely be back.
