Palau's mushroom-shaped rock islands offer a variety of exciting dives: WWII wrecks, shark-community channels, blue holes, a freshwater lake with stingless jellyfish, and even a few caves!    

Palau is a year round destination with something for every season. While German Channel has many resident Manta Rays, during the mating season, December through March, guests may see as many as 20 – 30 rays! All year round, the Palau Aggressor II crew encounters massive bait balls of scad in and around Ulong and German Channel and on the reefs of Blue Corner and Siaes Corner. 


Our seven days itinerary will be from Sunday to Sunday with five days and one-half day of diving. Diving begins Monday morning and ends Saturday before lunch when the Aggressor returns to port. Monday - Friday there are 4 dives a day and a night dive on 3 evenings.


Expected conditions:

  • Depth Range: 35 – 130 ft (11m – 40m)
  • Average water temp. is 82°F / 27°C.
  • 3 mm wetsuit is recommended.

All dives during on the  Palau Agressor II  liveaboard scuba diving vacations are made from the 18-passenger dive skiff, which is lowered into the water by a hydraulic cradle.

Itinerary Highlights
Our itinerary will include but is not limited to some of the incredible dive sites below!*

Big Drop-Off
A wall dive that begins as shallow as 2' at low tide and drops to 600'. It is considered by most to be the most beautiful wall dive in Palau because of its abundance of hard and soft corals, seafans, schools of pyramid butterfly fish, and a multitude of tropical reef fish.

Blue Holes
This is a series of four large holes in the top of the reef that converge to form a gigantic underwater chamber. The chamber has a huge opening on a wall that is home to soft corals, sea fans, sea whips and hard corals. Large pelagics often encountered here include tuna, jacks, gray and white tip reef sharks, barracuda and eagle rays. Grouper, Napoleon wrasse, triggerfish, Moorish idols, butterflyfish, anemones and turtles.

Siaes Tunnel
An extraordinary deep dive on the west side of the Palau, close to the Ulong Channel. The dive begins on a sheer wall with the opening of the tunnel starting at 70'. You enter through an opening, which is about 50' across and 20' high, and swim through the tunnel, which parallels the wall for 150'. The inside of the tunnel is a large cavern with a ceiling at 80-90' and the floor at 120-130'.

Wreck of the Iro Maru
A 145' long merchant ship sunk during World War II by American bombers, the Iro Maru sits upright in 120' of water just 10 minutes south of Koror. Three mast and gun turrets at the bow and stern support a large variety of invertebrates and hard corals. The main deck is at a depth of 80'with open holds containing oil drums and machinery.

As usual the service at Atlantis was exceptional. The Barista making the specialty coffees in the morning stunned everyone! The Dive Staff were very helpful assisting anyone with small difficulties. Always smiling and asking if there was anything they could do make things better! My hat comes of to all of the well trained staff on their diligent efforts to make our stay the most memorable ever. The abundance of turtles was icing on the cake.

I have been traveling to Atlantis Resort Dumagete yearly since 2011. From the moment you arrive until the day that you leave you are treated to some of the very best diving in the world, food that is as good carefully prepared, and a staff that remembers who you are and treats you like family. I’ve never gotten tired of the plethora of different dive sites and diverse marine life. Lobsters, crabs, shrimp, nudibranchs, seahorses. You name it and you’re bound to see them. Try it, you’ll love it!!!

Fantastic resort staff, excellent diving, and Steve Sr. was an outstanding trip leader. Would highly recommend booking this trip; we’ll be back!

Great trip!! The diving facility was top notch with a great concern for safety as well as providing a wonderful dive experience. Our divemaster, Orville, provided personal attention to our specific needs and helped make us better divers. The dive sites were very nice with beautiful coral and interesting underwater critters, and they were only minutes away from the resort. The trip to Verde Island was fantastic - well worth the extra expense. The Atlantis resort was also a treat with beautiful grounds, a very attentive staff, and excellent meals cooked by a talented chef. All in all, you couldn't ask for much more.

What a great trip. Eat, sleep, dive repeat. The crew was awesome. Very approachable and informative. The gang at Dolphin Scuba do a great job organizing and hosting these trips. I just signed up for another trip on the Peace next month. Great bang for your buck. Anacapa "Gold Fish Bowl" was my favorite dive site. We dove Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz and Anacapa. Can not wait to get back there. Hope I can get my new drysuit broke in by then.
