Comments	The trip was beyond belief. This was my first dive trip. I was certified for 1 week before I went and my husband was an experienced diver. The diving was superb for both novice and experienced. We hired a private dive guide who stayed with us for the entire 10 days we were there and showed us the most remarkable marine life imaginable. It rained most every day but the water was very calm with the exception of one day. Sams Tours is the most effecient place I have ever seen. Friendly, helpful, and very reliable fleet of boats and guides. They took us to the best sites depending upon the currents and visibility each dive and the lunches they provided were exceptional. By the time we left Palau, we had 18 memorable dives in Palau for our dive log and made many new friends at Sams. Palau is a definite YES when it comes to diving for any level and remarkable underwater experiences. The Palau Pacific Resort is a wonderful resort. They wait on you hand and foot and the food was supurb! We will be a repeat guest!
