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!

Great liveaboard experience
The diving was great. Some sites had limited visibility due to current, but the dive masters know how to optimize the experience. I enjoyed several dives with reef hooks. Onboard, staff and food services were excellent.

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.

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.

First liveaboard and it excited our expectations!!!
This was our first livaboard and it was amazing. The boat is very comfortable. The diving set up is amazing. Staff goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. Drinks are waiting for you after every dive. Hot chocolate for the night dives. The food is amazing and diving in Palau is fantastic. I have nothing bad to say about this trip.
