Liveaboard diving in Palau

[Where2Next]

For liveaboards in Palau I found the two ocean hunter boats, aggressor, dancer, solitude. Are there any others? Anyone know what the difference between a 7 night and 10 night cruise is? Do they go to Yap on the 10 night cruises? Do any boats hit both Yap and Palau? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Palau Siren. S/Y Palau Siren - Siren Fleet
We spent a week on the Palau Siren in April of 2013. Great boat. It's about 300 miles from Palau to Yap. Doubt any dive boats do both.

Thanks for the info on the Siren. It does look like there are no combo boats.

Hi! As Scubagolf said earlier there is no liveaboard in Palau that does a Palau-Yap combo trip. They all stay in the area. There is not much difference between a 7 and a 10 night cruise. The itinerary is pretty much the same. The only thing is that on a 10 night you have the possibility to repeat the dives that you enjoyed the most!
Just to let you know, all the itineraries in Palau stay around Ulong-Ngemelis-Peleliu areas. The reason why? because this is where the best and more exceptional dive sites are! such as Blue Corner, German Channel, New Drop Off, Ulong Channel, Peleliu, Blue Holes etc I personally lived in Palau for 2 years and did some dives in non-famous dive sites and there was nothing to see....
I hope I have been helpful!

I was on the Siren boat in March and we stayed at the same mooring at German Channel for 5 days and never went to Peleliu. The Cruise Director said they never do the advertised itinerary.

Looked at but decided to go elsewhere

<<never went to Peleliu>> ??!! That would be bad news, as you would miss out on some more good drift dives but also the land tour of Peleliu which was a major battle area during WWII.

We did a shop trip on the Palau Aggressor and had a great time, lots of great diving. The 10 day trips are harder to find, so we booked our own charter!

It gave a lot more flexibility and we went back to some areas at different times.

I am just seeing all these replies, thank you! We decided on the Solitude-One for next spring. Even convinced the LDS to book it, so a private charter as well! We decided to fly to Guam and Yap prior to coming to Palau. Jack - loved your recent Palau Jelly Fish Picture on https://www.facebook.com/groups/Immersion.photos/
