Palau Liveaboards

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 areas. ^[1]

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.
