Amazing trip, ending could be improved
All in all the trip was amazing. Amazing diving, experienced guides, lots of dives, great wildlife... The last day we got free time on land in the city and then we went back on the boat, then again back on land to eat and then again back on the boat... Would've preferred that they had something better arranged for the final day.

Hands down best crew and best diving!
This was the best of three liveaboard trips I have taken (all be superb). The crew was very accommodating and personable; the worked as a team and new the dive sites and weather data very well. Peleliu tour was also a great experience... Being a U.S. Marine, it was a more personal experience! Outstanding!! Will be back!!!

Terrific experience, didn't want to leave at the end.
The diving of course. There was a nice range of dives types, plenty of coral gardens, walls, some open caves and wrecks. The highlight of these was probably the hook in dives (i.e. Blue Corner, Peleliu corner/express), allowing you to sit back, relax, and watch the sealife enjoy a strong current.

Thoughtful crew made this the most comfortable dive trip I've had
The diving was amazing, especially German Channel and Blue Corner, and being conveniently near dive sites made for less time on the little boat. Food was incredible - something was available to nibble around the clock and the meals were very impressive for boat fare.

Spent dreamy days diving!
I was truly happy to dive into the clear and healthy sea ecosystem with friendly staff and great buddies. I think this trip will stay with me for a long time. The view of the sea was so good, and I watched and took pictures of everything from sharks to macros. I will definitely go diving again!

- Traveled to the best dive sites in Palau - Accommodation and meals were perfect when not diving, so I was able to relax comfortably - All staff carefully take care of all conditions from diving to lodging and meals.

Luxury diving with high class chef and best crew
Since I bought this trip at discounted price through Liveaboard, the 100% best price guarantee website that I trust so much, I am happy with everything on the trip. The food is too good to be true. I am a vegetarian yet I find the foods are really great in terms of nutrients, creativity, presentation, and taste. If you are a non-vegetarian, I am sure this could be one of your best food experience. Dive masters are really so friendly and kind. I can feel the sincerity in their service and they really know what they are doing. Boat and cabin are also very clean and comfortable. It is well maintained and regularly cleaned. Diving itself, is good. I like the cave experiences most. We saw manta, napoleon, sharks, eel, big clams, schools of barracuda, turtles, purple square fish, dori, etc. What can be improved: I feel like this trip is about dive, eat, and sleep. It would be great if LOB offers yoga or dance classes complimentary to encourage people to work out and stay fit during the trip. Especially for people who don't want to do night dives, it will be good if there will be some meditation or exercise activities offered.
