    DIVING HIGHLIGHTS:

    Best of Palau itineraries: Aboard Palau Siren, you'll dive as many of Palau's beloved sites as time allows.  Of course, everyone want to dive Ngemelis Drop Off, which was considered by Jacques Cousteau to be the finest he'd ever experienced.  This wall, which is "crawling" with sponges, whip corals, sea fans, anemones and other soft coral species crashes 300 meters virtually straight down. The fish attracted to this behemoth wall tend to be as colorful and dramatic as the wall itself.  Then, all around the famous Rock Islands you'll find coral gardens galore and additional drop-offs ... plus caves, swim-throughs, blue holes, marine lakes and even wartime wrecks make thrilling entries in your dive log.

    On the barrier reef that circles the area, you'll find wall dives and drift dives and more Kodak photo opportunities than you can count.  The currents here can be swift and sweeping, but they bring the excitement of big schools of fish and pelagics, including tons of jacks, turtles, sharks, manta rays.  You'll also dive Big Drop Off & the Blue Holes (4 holes which merge into one huge cavern) where you find a plethora of pelagic fish species plus plenty of sharks. Plus there's Blue Corner (more swirling pelagics) and German Channel with its exhilarating drift dives, walls, corals & abundant fish. And most itineraries include exploring at least one WWII wrecks.   

    Full Moon and New Moon spawning
 trip : At certain times of year, during Full Moon and New Moon, the Palau Siren offers divers one of the most amazing natural events on earth, the spawning aggregations of the bumphead parrotfish and the red snapper A whole lot of hungry sharks seem to like the action.  Talk about adrenaline rush !
