    Thanks Paolov, I actually got to learn about Pulau after seeing the 'Survivor @ Pulau' on Channel 5. But Pulau doesn't seem to be a popular dive site, it is so difficult to find info about this island on internet, but surprisingly the marine life on TV seem so magnificient.

    Like Axua mentionned, it is spelled Palau and if you type "palau diving" in google, you'll have tons of info. It is a really well known dive destination amongst the community...anyway, it's my #1 "dream" destination with truk lagoon and PNG...maybe one day when I'll be richer!
    Hope you'll find what you are looking for!

    I believe "Pulau" spelling is correct. It's Pulau Aur, a dive site in Malaysia.
    Sometimes reference of "pulau" is also applied to Pulau Sipadan. Both are great dives.

    the initial post is in reference to BlueICe subject :

    "Pulau (Philippines Diving) in late May 2005"

    in refernce to the Philippines, Palau is the closest one there is , hence the reference to Palau , nearest the philipine teritory. The west side of Palau islands is covered by the PHILIPPINES SEA.

    However the Survivor show at Pulau Tiga is indeed in Malaysia.

    hehehhe, i was avoiding that line of thought on boneo as there is the contention of Boneo / Sabah as a Philippine territory . hehehhehe.....

    At any rate, to make it clear EITHER ISLAND IS NOT PHILIPPINE TERRITORY.

    so the post about PULAU PALAU should be moved to the appropriate area either Malyasia or PAcific Islands threads
