Palau
Underwater Wonder of the World

Join Undersea Expeditions on our lucky 13th LGBTQ+ scuba expedition to mind-blowing Palau, home of drift diving with reef hooks and the extraordinary hold-on-to-your mask Blue Corner. An exotic former U.S. Trust Territory rich in Micronesian culture and WWII history, Palau offers electrifying diving with magnificent walls and drop offs, huge sea fans, and lots of underwater action.

You'll dive all of our favorite sites from past trips: Blue Corner, Ulong Channel, Big Dropoff, Siaes Corner, Peleliu and lots more. Plus our charter is timed to the full moon snapper spawning! This expedition is suitable for strong intermediate to experienced divers who are comfortable diving in current and from a live boat. Call us to speak with an instructor about the skills you'll need to dive here safely.

See why Palau is considered one of the world's top diving destinations and why we keep going back!

Getting there:
Currently, air connections to Koror, Palau (ROR) are provided through United Airlines and China Airlines.

Due to the International Date Line, North Americans will need to begin travel no later than March 17, 2022 in order to arrive by 12:50 am on March 19. Diving begins on the morning of March 19. We're happy to recommend a hotel if you choose to arrive on May 18 prior to the 3 pm boarding time.

China Airlines flies from Taipei to Koror, Palau on Saturday, March 16. The price is typically a fair bit less than United, so it can be worth a few nights stay before the liveaboard while enjoying some warm-up dives.

We'll disembark at 8 am on Monday, March 25, so relax at a hotel or kayak among the stunning Rock Islands for a day before departing at 2:05 am on March 26 (or on March 27 on China Airlines)

Extra nights at local hotels are available before and after the liveaboard to extend your trip if you wish.
