Palau's marine biodiversity is among the greatest in the world, making Palau and scuba diving synonymous. Approximately 1300 types of fish inhabit the region including manta rays, barracuda, giant clams and a breathe taking number of sharks. Palau is a true scuba divers paradise.  The Big Blue Explorer will be your host at legendary dive sites such as Blue Hole, New Drop Off , Ulong Channel and  Blue Corner, an adrenaline junkies fix, where you will get up close and personal with bumphead parrotfish, barracuda, and sharks.  At German Channel divers may have a run in with a manta ray or two. Napoleon wrasses, big-eyed tuna and marlins can be seen throughout the week, as well as, clownfish playfully making themselves at home in anemones of numerous colors. Let's not forget the well photographed Jellyfish Lake, were you can snorkel with thousands of jellyfish, this is truly an experience of a lifetime.

Air and Water temperatures remain in the 80's year round. 2.5  to 3 millimeter wetsuits are suggested, and a hood will help if you chill easily especially after numerous dives.
