Recommendation
Divesites: the divesites in Palau are very good but not "out of this world". My personal recommendation: if you have not done Raja Ampath, Komodo Islands, or Similan Islands, I would do a liveaborad there before going to Palau. The divesites there are better (Raja Ampath) or the liveaboard costs less at similar dive quality (Komodo, Similan). Funnily enough, most of the other guests had already also done these liveabords and felt the same. Dive operations: the dive masters are well trained and knowledable. The whole group (18 divers) goes out with 3 dive masters and buddies are allowed to spread aparat quite far during the dives, i.e., it does not feel like being part of such a large group and the diving is great fun. The daily schedule is a bit different than at other boats: big breakfast before first dive and small snack between dive 1 and 2 instead of the other way round // dinner before the night dive (instead of after. While the first point could be easily changed the second point is a bit due to offering of 5 dives per day (instead of the usual 4) - which in itself is a plus. Boat, crew, food: all well run, a smoothly oiled machine. The food is extremly good, especially at lunchtime. A bit of a downside is that after the last diving is done (about 18 hours before you leave the boat), the food also becomes less and there are no more snacks and such. The last 18 hours feel a bit more like the crew waiting for you to leave rather than ending the trip on a high note Value for money: Palau is a high price destination (both in general as well as for diving) and you pay more than at comparable superb dive destinations. Compared to other liveabords on Palau the value for money is good. Compared to similar dive locations around the world, it comes at a higher cost. The whole trip was great fun and I can definitely recommend it.

Perfect holiday, outstanding crew
The stay was very personal from the beginning. Every member of the crew addressed us by name from day 1 and pampered us all around. During each dive, the cabin was cleaned and checked. The food was absolutely fabulous. Chef Ronnie is an outstanding chef. When diving, care was taken to ensure that the order was chosen as far as possible so that we met as few other divers as possible. The divemasters were always supportive and professional. The boat is no longer the most modern, but technically in top condition and we have also comfortably found the desired peace and sleep in our cabin.Great importance was also attached to the cohesion of the group, whereby diving was allowed to be carried out independently.We had absolutely nothing to complain about and can only recommend this trip. The crew made it memorable.

Nice relaxing holiday on an excellent livaboard.
Great relaxing holiday with nice people around. We had some excellent dives however I would not call the diving very special. Something equals to Maldives. But that is good enough. The only slight disappointment was that there is one dive group so all 18 people together.

🌊 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. 💙

- The crew. I absolutely loved that the fish identification slideshow was being played during meals. I really enjoy seeing the fish and learning their names!. Starr would always be playing music in the tender as we came out of the water. It was a great touch!.

We laughed at the rain from under the waves. Bucketlist item checked off.
Diving the Ulong Channel past lettuce coral was amazing. I also payed a lot of attention on the micro-bio diversity rather than only seeking out the larger features and animals that I usually focus on.

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.

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.
