Comments The diving was good, but not as exceptional as we had heard. The currents were unusually calm (which I was glad for), but it had an impact on sites like blue corner. Less big animal action than usual. We did have unexpected ripping current on one dive and it scattered everyone. One man got his fins and cameral ripped off him and was in a life threatening situation. Thanks to good divers in the water to calm him and hold him up and the crew who navigated in dangerous shallow conditions, he was fine. The boat, crew, and food were all very good. No complaints.

Reporter and Travel

Dive Experience 251-500 dives
Where else diving Fiji, Carribbean, Africa, Galapagos, Indonesia, Mexico
Closest Airport Koror Getting There China air was by far the least expensive, but canceled our flight and changed the dates without notifying us. It took awhile, but we were able to straighten it out by adding 3-4 days onto our trip at the end to make it work. Ended up costing us more in the long run.
