Comments	We went to Palau for a Kids Sea Camp to get my grandchildren started on diving. This was the trip of a lifetime. Other than the very long flights, I can't think of anything to complain about. The resort was beautiful, and the employees were lovely. Kids Sea Camp was excellent, and the staff was extremely helpful. Sam's Dive Tours is the best dive operation that I have ever encountered. Not only was their handling of the diving absolutely outstanding, they also handled many other services for everyone -- babysitters, birthday cakes, helicopter rides, group meals at their dive shop, etc., etc. Mark, who is the general manager, is terrific. We lucked out and only got one rain shower while diving. Most of the days were either sunny or partly cloudy. My 3 grandkids who participated in Kids Sea Camp really loved it, and we will definitely be doing another one. The diving in Palau is just outstanding -- the best I have ever done. We had 9 people from my family on this trip, and every single one of us raved about the trip.
