PROS AND CONS | Palau is not the easiest diving destination to reach, especially if you live in Europe. It can take two days to get there and flights cost more than many people would normally consider paying. However, if you want to see pelagic species, these islands do have extremely good diving. Hopping on a liveaboard will mean you can make the most of your time – and for even better value try going to Yap or Chuuk (Truk Lagoon) at the same time. SCUBA DIVING | Conditions in Palau are variable with substantial currents at times especially around the channels. However, that is what attracts the sharks and manta rays to the famed dive sites like Blue Corner and German Channel. Many dives are drift dives. OPINION | This may well be a once in a lifetime destination but you really do have to do it. We planned a three week long trip to do Palau, Yap and Truk together but combining them wasn't easy. At the time, liveaboard schedules for Palau and Truk did not coordinate so we slipped Yap in between. Diving there is land-based so it's easy to add a few days in between the other islands.
