Not sure if this fits here, but here goes...
Spent the last 5 days in Palau diving and kayaking. I used to live in Micronesia so I have been there several times.
Palau is a great place to dive from Japan. It is the same timezone, takes a less than 8 hours to get there (including a transfer on Guam) and is much cheaper than diving in Japan (from what I have seen).
If you have air miles, it costs 25,000 round trip on Continental to get there from Japan (50,000 for the 2 of us). 2 days of 2-tank boat dives, lunch, tanks, weights, guide, etc, 1 day kayaking, and 4 nights in a very nice hotel was around $800 for 2 of us total.
As for the diving it was a great as always. Great viz, sharks, sea turtles, walls, even tiger sharks feeding on a whale carcass (actually missed it by a few hours as the carcass was already on a beach when we arrived).
Just yell if you want more details.
Cheers
