The M/V Palau Aggressor II is a 32m long liveaboard with 9 staterooms carrying 18 passengers who can explore WWII wrecks, blue holes, and bottomless walls in Micronesia. Scuba diving with the Palau Aggressor II offers up to 5 daily dives, including night dives. All staterooms have a private bathroom, shower, storage, and individual climate control. Meals and snacks are available throughout the day and served in dining or outdoor lounging areas. They also include American options and local cuisine. Complimentary soft drinks, iced tea, beer, and wine can be enjoyed at the many lounging spots all over the boat. Guests can relax in the air-conditioned lounge and enjoy the sun deck with loungers or hammocks, deck chairs, active bar service, and a music player. On the dive deck, there is a dedicated camera table for large camera rigs, and the deck is also very spacious to store all the diving and safety equipment.

When traveling aboard the M/V Palau Aggressor II, the diving is done from a skiff with its captain and experienced dive leaders. The dive site itinerary includes Blue Corner, Blue Holes, Chandelier Caves, Denges Passage, German Channel, and Ngedebus Coral Gardens. The divers can find grey reef sharks, white-tip reef sharks, manta rays, cuttlefish, Mandarin fish, Napolean Wrasses, swarms of Jellyfish, and WWII wrecks under the water. During February and March, the guests can find large schools of Moorish Idols, Unicorn Fish, and several species of Butterfly Fish. The boat crew encounters massive bait balls of scad all year round in and around Ulong and German Channel and on the reefs of Blue Corner and Siaes Corner.

Should be on everyone's bucket list!
My favourite scuba trip of my 200+ dive hobbying so far. The food on board was unbelievable in quality and variety - as good as any restaurant! Captain Jim and DMs Taffy and Jay were excellent and made every dive enjoyable regardless of the conditions. Palau should be on everyone's bucket list and you won't regret seeing it with Palau Aggressor II.

Great service by a great team
Diving in Palau was nice but nothing really exceptional you wouldn't find on a similar level at many other spots in the world - except the Jelly Fish Lake, which is a nice "once in a lifetime". But therefore the service on board the Palau Aggressor II was great. The team is very caring and engaged when it comes to customer service which was a great experience. Thanks again for a great tip!

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.

Best liveaboard so far
After completing 25 aggressor trips, I received a voucher to use for any of their fleet liveaboards and Palau was bucket list. The week onboard was truly magical; dive sites; (weather was perfect sunshine every day). I can truly say out of all agressor liveaboards, Palau takes the crown in hospitality, safety precautions (3 dive masters on each dive ). Careful planning , patience and wonderful treatment with so many small touches . Hot towels for example after each dive, abundance of food and selections . Wonderful soft beds, cleanliness of the cabins and amenities . The friendliness and professionalism of the crew lead by cruise director Ian was truly humbling . It was sincerely remarkable charter filled with excellence in diving , and forever in memory with fun and joy on board. Do not miss this liveaboard if you get a chance it is so worth the flying , perhaps Tokyo route is more convenient for USA guests . Connections worked out perfect.

The Palau Aggressor crew sets the standard — the team was exceptional.
I had such an incredible time aboard the Palau Aggressor — the kind of trip that reminds you why you fell in love with diving in the first place. The crew treated me like a friend from day one, and a lot of that started at the very top. Jim, the captain, was unlike any I’ve encountered — rather than running things from a distance, he was constantly present among the guests, diving alongside us, sharing his experiences, and genuinely invested in every person on board. What struck me most is that everything ran so seamlessly and effortlessly the entire trip — and I know that doesn’t happen by accident. The smoothness of every day was a direct testament to an enormous amount of work happening quietly in the background, and that kind of invisible excellence is the hardest thing to pull off. That tone clearly starts with Jim and Taffy’s leadership and flows through every single crew member. Jim also has a rare gift for slowing down underwater and showing you the tiny, magical things most divers swim right past, always making sure you’d seen something special before moving on to find the next one. He turned every dive into a genuine adventure — pranks, games, and all — and the fact that he jumped to hike all the way back up a hill to get the mask I forgot so I could make it to Jellyfish Lake is not forgotten. Taffy ran one of the most professional dive operations I’ve seen — his briefing drawings were works of art, he had such a strong / friendly command of the group during briefings, and he had a wonderful habit of gathering everyone after dives to talk through what we saw, even on dives he hadn’t joined himself. Johnny was a constant ray of sunshine, always watching over me after dives, making sure I never lost my buddy, and consistently pointing out anemone fish because he remembered I loved them. Ronnie’s food consistently wowed — the food was exceptional across the board, and the dietary accommodations were so impressive I found myself eyeing the vegetarian and gluten-free options over the regular menu. Ana kept our cabins immaculate, seemingly after every single dive. And June and Jay — so sweet. The crew remembered what drinks I liked and had it ready at lunch and dinner without me ever having to ask twice. Every single person on this boat went above and beyond when it wasn’t necessary with this group of guests. I would absolutely welcome the opp to be back on this boat and will recommend to all of my friends.

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.

I am blessed to have experienced Palau and all it had to offer.
Beautiful water and great crew. I learned how to use a reef hook and that was my favorite part of the trip while watching sharks and schooling fish go by. I got to see the shy/elusive mandarin fish. The boat was comfortable and the food delicious.

This was the best I ever had so far! ...and I have done a lot of diving.
The dives sites were not only crawling with critters (mantas, sharks, Napoleons, colorful reef fish, turtles,..) there were also chosen very wisely in terms of diversity (reefs, wrecks, walls, caves, channels, lakes,..). The guides were very experienced and safe to dive with - without missing out on the fun part ;-) The crew in general was extremely professional, friendly, welcoming and mindful of any extra wishes we had (got a cheese platter for my B-day on board). A big thanks to Ronnie (excellent food!!), Jay, Andy, Editha, Ripon, Joe and Jim!! You made our stay very special. The boat itself is very functional. All the equipment tays safely on the Zodiac which gets hydraulically lifted to and from the water. Rooms are on one level, spacious, clean, modern and very well serviced all the time (thanks, Editha!!). On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best) I give this a rating of 9.9! (0.1 more the go, folks, but you are already half-way there ;-)

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!

Jellyfish Lake was the one thing that stood out most. The dives we made around Oolong were also very memorable, in part because the weather was great, but also the quality of sea life there was amazing.

Palau Diving Adventure
Had an amazing time diving over one week in Palau! Hit all the famous spots, saw my first mantas and first experience reef hooking. The crew and dive guides were amazing and attentive. The boat is run like a well oiled machine. Incredible food as well! Only criticisms would be 1. Missing the jellyfish lake as it was empty means there’s not really any exposure to the rock islands on the trip 2. The boat overall feels very US influenced (needs an espresso coffee option!)

The only way to dive Palau!
The diving was fantastic. The dive guides were very helpful. I had issues with some of my personal scuba equipment and they helped fix it right away. Safety is a priority with these folks. The food was very good for a relatively small liveaboard and plentiful. While the cabins were a bit dated, they were clean and comfortable. Loved the trip. It was also great to meet guest/divers from all over the world and share our experiences. I would definitely do another liveaboard.
