Comments	This was a trip with Kids Sea Camp, run by Margo Peyton. They use Sam's Tours as their dive operation, and we stayed at the Palau Royal Resort. Everything about this trip was spectacular. The diving is mind-blowing, and Sam's Tours is the best dive operation I have ever encountered. They took care of many activities in addition to the diving -- babysitting, birthday cakes, some dinners, and arranging a helicopter tour for us. They do exactly what they say they will do, when they say they will do it. And everybody involved with Sam's Tours is extremely friendly, accommodating, and professional. They helped us out in many, many ways. The Palau Royal Resort is a beautiful resort, and our accommodations were lovely. The employees of the resort were very gracious. All 3 of my grandkids who attended the Kids Sea Camp absolutely loved it. They had the time of their lives, and the oldest one (9 years old) got to dive with us on the family dive. It was such a thrill to have 3 generations of divers underwater together. Margo Peyton does a fabulous job of running the Kids Sea Camp and coordinating all the various aspects with the resort and the dive operation. She is super helpful and knowledgeable, and my family cannot wait to do another Kids Sea Camp. MAJOR thumbs up, all the way around.
