Where's the best liveaboard diving in Palau
Vessels tour the finest dive sites in Palau throughout the year, ensuring the best dive sites on every dive. Highlights include the coral encrusted walls of the Ulong Channel, Shark City, Blue Corner and Peleliu Cut.
Many dive sites are offered as exhilarating drift dive, or reef hooks are required to allow divers to hook on and watch the show.
The German Channel – so named as it was cut out by German miners - is one of a number of places with manta ray cleaning stations, complimenting the abundance of shark species. Whale shark can sometimes be spotted around the outer reefs. There are plenty of smaller and more unusual critters to be found, including the elusive nautilus, frogfish, mandarin fish, pipefish and an array of nudibranchs.
Wreck divers will not be disappointed. The Iro Maru Wreck is close to the harbour of Koror and the Jake Sea Plane, a great photo opportunity, is also nearby.
What to see when
Palau is blessed with outstanding marine life encounters throughout the year and a mix or large and small species is all but guaranteed.
December through to March is a particularly good time for those hoping to encounter manta ray. These months are also good for a variety of shark species as they patrol the reefs. Blacktip, whitetip and grey reef shark are the most common species observed.
Palau is an outstanding destination in which to see spawning events, where huge numbers of a particular species gather, creating an extraordinary spectacle. Timing is key for these encounters, which are based around the cycle of the moon. The November full moon sees red snapper gather in vast numbers in a display worthy of the attention of a National Geographic documentary. The December full moon is the turn of bumphead parrotfish, known for their distinctive large foreheads. April and May are a good time for spawning events for both bumphead parrotfish and snapper.
July through to November tends to see more macro species and is a good time for photographers, but larger species are still prevalent in numbers.
Jellyfish Lake is currently closed to visitors.
Itineraries
Liveaboards offer a choice of 7 or 10 night itineraries encompassing the dive highlights of one of the world's top dive destinations.

April to July brings increased humidity and sporadic rain showers, but these rarely affect underwater visibility.
August to November sees higher rainfall and slightly reduced visibility, but diving remains exceptional.
