Please don't let my trip report put you off visiting Palau. Despite everything, it remains a spectacular destination. I would just encourage anyone who observes blatant disregard for the marine environment to speak up. Talk to the dive operation owners directly. Send emails to Harry Fritz, Palau's Minister of Tourism mnret@palaugov.net, Theo Isamu, Director Bureau of Marine Resources bmr@palaunet.com and Joseph Aitaro, Director Bureau of Protected Areas Network pan@palaunet.com. They need to hear the feedback over and over, until they're willing to require more strenuous enforcement from ALL dive operators.
