Fun Dive Guided Tours for Certified Divers

Palau is hailed as one of the world's top ten must-visit dive destinations. Though its landmass is less than two-thirds the size of Taipei, its 620,000-square-kilometer ocean territory makes it one of the most biodiverse regions in the Pacific. The Rock Islands were named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012, home to over 1,500 species of fish, 700 types of coral and anemones, and the world's first shark sanctuary.

The marine-rich Blue Corner, the manta-frequented German Channel, the surreal blue holes, and the vibrant coral-filled drift dives of Ulong Channel...

Come dive into this Pacific underwater garden with us. We hope the joy you find in these waters grows into a lifelong passion for the ocean!

‍

The thalassophile club maintains a neutral stance on visiting Dolphin Bay. Generally, we oppose the captivity of marine mammals; however, the ecosystem at Dolphins Pacific is unique. We have personally inspected the environment and met the trainers, and we believe they are doing their best to care for the dolphins living there. That said, we completely respect your decision if you are firmly against any form of wildlife captivity.

Highlights
  • Guided by certified PADI instructors from Hong Kong/Taiwan for a friendly, worry-free experience.
  • Enjoy a premium, delicious bento lunch while surrounded by the vast Pacific.
  • All certified divers are welcome—from new OW divers to experienced AOW veterans, young or old. Our instructors love sharing the fun of diving with everyone.
  • Private dive guides are available for beginners upon request.
Requirements
  • Must be at least 12 years old and hold a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver certification or equivalent.
  • Divers under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian who has signed a consent form.
  • Must be in good health and sign a Medical Statement and a Liability Release and Assumption of Risk Agreement.
  • If you have any health concerns, please obtain medical clearance before diving.
  • To use Enriched Air (Nitrox), you must present a valid Nitrox certification from a recognized training agency. Those unable to provide proof of certification cannot use Nitrox tanks, and no refunds or exchanges will be provided.

We use speedboats designed specifically for diving, perfect for short to medium-distance trips in Palau.

Activity Details

Since most Palau dive sites are far from the main island, expect a 30-40 minute boat ride (one way) for most locations outside the inner lagoon. Diving here is typically done in three-dive daily trips; once we head out in the morning, we stay out until the day's activities conclude. Lunch is served on the boat or on a deserted island, where you can enjoy your premium bento with a view of the endless Pacific.

Dive sites near Koror are mainly divided into four areas: the Ngemelis area to the southwest, the Ulong area to the west, the Ngerchong area to the east, and the WWII wrecks in the inner lagoon.

Ngemelis Area

Located southwest of Koror, this area is about a 40-minute boat ride away. It features world-famous sites like Blue Corner, the manta-frequented German Channel, and the Blue Holes, which are perfect for capturing those iconic "angel light" photos. These are must-see spots you won't want to miss.

Sites: Blue Corner, Blue Holes, German Channel, Dexter Wall, Virgin Blue Hole, Big Drop Off, New Drop Off

Ulong Area‍

Located in the western Ulong area, about a 30-minute boat ride from the main island. This area is a nursery for marine life, often featuring adorable baby sharks and rays. The Ulong Channel, carpeted in colorful coral, is also one of the world's premier drift dive sites.

Sites: Ulong Channel, Siaes Corner, Siaes Tunnel, Shark City, Sandy Paradise

NGERCHONG AREA

Located east of Koror, this area is about a 40-minute boat ride away. While not as famous as Ngemelis or Ulong, it hides many lesser-known gems. For instance, you can find baby gray reef sharks here from September to November, and the Small Drop-off is the perfect spot for a special "Nautilus viewing" dive.

Sites: Ngerchong Outside, Ngerchong Coral Garden, Short Drop Off

Inner Lagoon Area

For divers interested in war history or photography, Palau's waters hold remarkably intact relics, most notably the JAKE Seaplane and the IRO Maru wreck.

Sites: Chandelier Cave, JAKE Seaplane, IRO Maru, HAFA ADAI wreck

Purchase Information

  • The trip includes air tanks for the specified number of dives. If you wish to upgrade to Nitrox, it is an additional US$5 per tank, and you must present a valid Nitrox certification. Diving equipment, other than tanks, is not included in the diving fee. Actual dive sites are determined based on the day's weather, currents, sea conditions, and the preferences and physical condition of the group. For safety reasons, the lead dive guide reserves the right to make the final decision. Please follow the guide's instructions during the activity and do not leave the group. If you leave the group without authorization or engage in dangerous behavior, you are responsible for all resulting costs and legal liabilities. For safety, every participant must wear a dive computer on every dive and adhere to its no-decompression limits and other instructions. If a "lockout" occurs due to improper diving, we reserve the right to prohibit you from diving until the computer is fully functional again, with no compensation provided. Boat rides to dive sites take between 30 and 50 minutes; if you are prone to seasickness, we recommend bringing your own medication.

Diving Guidelines

  • Please be mindful of your physical condition; do not dive if you are hungover, overly exhausted, or feeling unwell. Avoid alcohol for at least eight hours before diving. Protect the ocean by not touching coral or other marine life during your dives. Do not fly within 12 hours of a single dive or 18 hours of repetitive dives. For safety, every participant must wear a dive computer and carry a Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) on every dive, adhering to the computer's no-decompression limits and instructions. If a "lockout" occurs due to improper diving, we reserve the right to prohibit you from diving until the computer is fully functional again, with no compensation provided. At specific dive sites (such as Blue Corner, Siaes Corner, Ulong Channel, and Peleliu Express), every participant must carry a reef hook to ensure safety and prevent damage to the coral. Actual dive sites are determined based on the day's weather, sea conditions, and the preferences and physical condition of the group. For safety reasons, the lead dive guide reserves the right to make the final decision. Please follow the guide's instructions during the activity and do not leave the group. If you leave the group without authorization or engage in dangerous behavior, you are responsible for all resulting costs and legal liabilities.
