Comments	I lucked out on this trip, since there were 2 other divers on this 7 day trip. The cabin would have been stifling if I had to share it with another diver. There's not enough storage space for 2 divers. As it was, it worked out very well for me. The diving was spectacular. My dive buddies and the D.M. felt like family. The food was gourmet. Service was first class. The boat has a lounge with a big screen TV and a good selection of DVDs. Palau prides itself as the first shark sanctuary in the world. Sharks were seen on almost every dive. Also turtles. There's a plentiful variety of tropical fish species. The hard coral was in great condition, although there was some algae growth in the lagoon. We dove all the popular dive sites, including Peleliu, shipwrecks, seaplane wreck, and of course snorkeled in Jellyfish Lake. The diving was done from a smaller skiff, and dive sites were short rides, except for Peleliu, which is farther south. Al in all, a terrific dive trip. It rained the morning of the Jellyfish Lake trip, and also on the day I left the boat. The rest of the time was sunny and hot.
