Palau is a breathtakingly beautiful archipelago comprised of emerald green jungle-covered rock islands, surrounded by clear turquoise waters. As a top scuba diving destination, Palau is best known for its world-class shark dives, amazing biodiversity, and its unique jellyfish lake. Palau also hosts one of the world's largest protected marine area.[1]
There is a good selection of Palau liveaboards to choose from. Dive resorts are also available in Palau, but if maximizing the amount of time spent diving is your priority, a liveaboard is your best option. Most liveaboards depart from Koror, the most populous area in the country and the main international travel hub in Palau.
