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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

1st time liveaboard: surpassed all expectations!
i was diving the max 4-5 times a day but felt refreshed and ready for each dive only because the staff provided amazing service with immediate access to refreshments and wonderful meals. the yacht had comfortable living quarters to recover in our own staterooms but also with the sundeck lounge chairs and hammocks. the staff were able accommodate individual needs, from having beers for me ready after the last dive of eac day, to providing nice photos from our trip without extra cost.
