Whites is going to Palau (January 2009)

[DiveJedi]

We've redirected our destination after our August 2008 Galapagos Charter was canceled, and yes, that's right - we are off to Palau (January 16-25, 2009)! Ranked as one of the top dive destinations in the world, Palau's mushroom-shaped rock islands in the tropical waters of Micronesia offer something for everyone: WWII wrecks, shark-infested channels, blue holes, a fresh water lake with sting less jellyfish, and even a few caves! There are also sheer walls covered in lush soft corals and thriving with fish and marine life. Now package this with the ultimate live-a-board for diving: the Palau Aggressor II, and voila!! A dream diving vacation come true!

Packages can be put together from wherever your located through Fly and Sea Travel Club (www.flyandsea.com ). Ask for Irene, and say you're joining Whites Manufacturing! Base prices for those signed up so far including airfare from Seattle and 7 nights aboard the Palau Aggressor II are approx $5689 plus $85 in taxes (CDN). It is easy to include stop-overs in locations such as Yap, Hawaii or a longer stay in Micronesia too.

There are only 4 spots available, so please let us know ASAP if you want to join your hosts from Whites Manufacturing to participate in a marketing campaign/photo shoot with a great group of people signed up so far to test drive their Fusion Drysuits in some of the most beautiful tropical waters in the world. This promises to be a trip of a lifetime! Please drop me a line if you have questions, or contact Irene from Fly and Sea (ibeck@flyandsea.com) directly for more information and quotes. We will release any empty seats that are currently reserved early in July, as the the rest of this charter is sold out. Aggressor has a wait list chomping the bit to fill any extra spots available!

Happy Diving!

Looks great Tyler....we were on of the lucky few last summer (Aug 08) to get to dive on Wolf and Darwin the Galapagos (but had some serious heart-burn up to the time we got on our live-aboard), Palua is our next dream dive destination -- I'm curious how Aggressor compared price wise to other boats in the islands?

Did you have an early itinerary of the trip yet (Jellyfish lake etc)? I'd love to see it!

We officially still have one more spot available - but there may well be a couple others still left on the boat...

If you are after details on where we are going, you check out this map:
Dive Map

and the agressor site in general is a great place for more info:
Aggressor: Palau, Big Drop-Off, Blue Corner, Blue Holes, Chandelier Caves, Denges Passage

Please let us know asap if you are interested, some of us are haging in Palau for a couple day after, some are stopping in Hawaii, and some are continuing on to Yap...

It will be a great trip, and a great time of year to do it!

Hiya,

There is only one spot left!

The basic itinerary for the trip is:

SATURDAY (January 17th): Arrive in Palau
SUNDAY (January 18th): Guests are transferred to the boat. Once aboard, everyone enjoys a delightful welcome aboard dinner followed by the Captain’s briefing, which
outlines the week’s activities and safety procedures.
MONDAY - FRIDAY: Dive briefing! Diving begins Monday morning at signature sites like Ulong
Channel and the Iro Maru. Mid-week, the Aggressor heads south to Peleliu Island, weather permitting, for a WWII land tour and more fabulous diving.
SATURDAY: Diving ends Saturday morning,
usually with a trip to Chandelier Caves. At approximately 2:00 p.m., the boat returns to port. Later
that evening, the crew hosts a 6:00 p.m. cocktail party. Dinner is not served onboard. The crew will arrange transportation to a local restaurant. The Saturday night meal is not included in the charter
SUNDAY: Checkout time is 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning. All passengers are transferred to the airport
or local hotel.

The group of us going are meeting next week in Victoria (for those who are local) to meet, greet and build on the excitement that already exists!

Cheers,
Alisa (The planner for this trip!)

P.S. The prices quoted above have been ultra conservative! So far we have found flights, etc. to be cheaper then expected.
