Peleliu would be my choice - since it was the major site, and has the museums etc., I would think there would be boats there are on a fairly regular basis. Eye-balling the map, it looks to be about 20 miles SW of Koror - unless they have fast boats, that would mean burning 4 hours or so in transit, so probably for everyone else local site-seeing or snorkeling. There is a bit of water that has been isolated so long it is now fresh, and filled with jelly fish that have lost their sting and adapted to fresh water!!Yes I'd love to include the Historical elements of the area into the trip. Any preference for where you want to go? That will make it easier to include?
As for air...Kim is working on some contracts now.
ONLY 7 SPOTS LEFT!! March 5-15, 2007 Palau!

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

Stewart - I was just talking to Wreck Wench about this awesome trip.... the pricing for the land package is in the header - and it's currently posted as Total $1225 (slightly less if we get 10 people) I'm sure it will be updated there.
Glad to know we're getting some interest. I just looked through a list of world's best diving - and Palau is always at the top!
See you there!

You say "lunch & beverage each dive day" but in "what's not included" you don't mention breakfast or supper so is this lodge AI or not?

If the "Beverage" is beer, the golden nectar of life, who needs food?

Is that why you let me share your bottomless tank of air?
You should go on this trip - I'll need some spare air so I can stay down with the Dive Girls

The islands of Palau are rimmed by a barrier reef that separates shallow reef lagoons from sheer walls and shelters one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet.
Check's in the mail for the balance.
65 days,
but who's counting?

Hello All,
Just joined SingleDivers yesterday, 12-30-06, and I am so glad that I did! Is there any room left for the trip to Palau 3-5-07 thru 3-15-07?
I would be a single diver flying from Houston, Texas. Who would I contact to find out what the air cost is and so on?? There is a very good chance I may be able to swing this trip! Just need to figure out the exact cost.
So HELP a newbie please and tell me which fin to pull to get the fine details please??
Thanks!
Juli
