Comments	This trip was our fifth time to Palau and our fifth trip with FishNFins. While the ride out to the dive sites is generally about 50 minutes, it's such a beatiful trip that we don't mind it. Great diving and snorkeling (my wife is an ocean snorkeler) and of course a great location to see sharks, mantas, turtles, dophins, jacks, morays as well as many small things too. It's likely that next time we'll do FishNFins live aboard, because with new people comoing on to the dive boat every couple of days we went to blue corner about 5 times (which was fine -- it's great to get sharks, sharks, sharks). One of the nice things about going back to this location so many times is that I relocated a nice big frog fish, many morays and other items that most people don't have the time to look at with all the sharks around. Yoko and Allain were great dive masters -- we had an "unbelievable" time. While there are now more high end hotels available, we continued to stay at the West Plaza Desketel(sp), which is a no frills hotel above a grocery store about a 5 minute walk from everything. No pool, no room service but very convenient. We also flew through Manila on Continental Micronesia, which may be a good alternative rather than the Guam-Honolulu trip...FNF arranged our fare on the Manila - Koror legs for a good price, making the trip about $500 less than the itinerary would be through Guam....
