WHY WE LIKE IT

Palau, with a boat that gives you room to breathe.

We like Black Pearl because it gives divers a genuine second choice in Palau rather than defaulting to the fleet everyone already knows. Palau rewards confident divers with channel diving, shark action and reef walls, and having space on deck, a sensible dive platform and somewhere quiet to sit between dives makes a week of demanding diving far more enjoyable. It suits photographers and divers who want big-animal encounters without feeling packed in.

Diving in Palau

Palau combines current-fed channel diving with reef walls, caverns, wartime wrecks and Jellyfish Lake. Blue Corner and German Channel are the best known sites, though conditions decide the daily plan. Shark, manta and pelagic encounters are likely but never guaranteed.

Life aboard

Air-conditioned cabins, shaded and open deck space, indoor dining and a dedicated dive deck with camera space. Ask Carmen about cabin layout, bed arrangement and the group size on your chosen sailing.

Who it suits

Best for divers comfortable in current, using reef hooks and drift entries. Palau is rewarding for photographers and for divers who want big-animal action alongside beautiful topside scenery.

PLAN THE JOURNEY

Getting there & when to go

Getting there

Fly into Roman Tmetuchl International Airport (ROR) in Koror, usually via Manila, Taipei, Seoul or Guam. Most guests add a hotel night either side of the cruise; we will match your flights to the embarkation day and arrange transfers.

Diving through the seasons

Palau offers diving all year. December to April is generally drier with lighter winds, while the wetter months can bring more plankton and more feeding activity. Channel sites depend on tides rather than months, so the daily plan is set by conditions.
