Palau Islands - 7 nights

This 7-night Palau Islands liveaboard itinerary allows up to 22 dives, delivering some of the best scuba diving in the world. As the entire country’s waters are designated as a shark sanctuary, reef sharks and manta rays can be seen in abundance, and there are many smaller creatures that warrant attention; iconic sites like Blue Corner, dramatic walls, vibrant coral gardens, and fast-flowing channels that attract pelagics and vast schools of fish are just a few of the highlights that make Palau such a great diving destination.

Departing from Malakal Harbour, Palau Siren will head into the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon, before heading down to Peleliu. The sites, and order in which they are visited, vary from one trip to the next, depending upon conditions, with each cruise being specifically tailored so that you have the best experiences possible visiting the three main areas of diving in Palau; Ulong, Ngemelis and Peleliu.

Requirements: PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent, minimum 30 logged dives (mandatory), experience and comfortable in strong currents.

Palau Islands - 10 nights

Palau Siren’s 10-night Palau Islands liveaboard itinerary offers up to 32 dives across one of the Pacific’s most dynamic marine environment. Combining exhilerating drift dives, WWII wrecks, atmospheric caverns, and varied night diving, this itinerary showcases why Palau is invariably rated as one of the top diving destinations in the World. Defined by a vast turquoise lagoon and dramatic oceanic drop-offs, Palau’s nutrient-rich currents fuel vibrant coral growth, dense schools of fish, and regular encounters with manta rays, reef sharks, and pelagic species — delivering consistently dynamic, world-class diving.

Departing from Koror, Palau Siren will usually visit some of the wrecks around Malakal Harbour before heading into the Rock Islands. Ulong Channel provides some speedy drift dives and stunning underwater topography as we head south via German Channel and Ngemelis Island to Peleliu Island for some more exhilarating dives with lots of pelagic action.

Requirements: PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent, minimum 30 logged dives (mandatory), experience and comfortable in strong currents.

New moon spawning 7 - 10 nights

Around the time of the new moon each month, thousands of bumphead parrotfish gather in one area of Palau for the sole purpose of procreation. During the period of the liveaboard itinerary when this event occurs, your Cruise Director will give a number of presentations about the unique spawning dives. These informative talks will cover everything from the ecology of the events to the best way to observe and photograph them.

Please note that these dives are only suitable for experienced divers, as there are often very strong currents at the locations where the action is happening.

Requirements: PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent, minimum 50 logged dives (mandatory), experience and comfortable in strong currents.
