Although not too much specified for UWP, they took great care of equipment and us in and out of the dive boats. |

Third trip to Palau and third trip with FishNFins. Having been there with the original owners and new with Tova and Navot (who have owned the Ocean Hunter), it's a great experience. The local dive masters are very knowlegable, competent, safe and do a great job. We were scheduled for two dives a day, but after the first two we came into the harbor, let off the folks who didn't want to do a third dive, and then went out to do closer third dive. All the logistics (ie transfers, hotels, etc.) were handled great and Tova's now opened a wonderful restaurant right next to the dive shop where we eat at least three nights. We had such a great time we're going back this year! |
