Comments Shore diving from Koror, is done by speedboat. All of the dive sites are between 45-60 minutes of high speed travel from Koror - however, the scenery is spectatular. The long distance means that you can only do 2 dives per day with lunch provided.

We had a 7 day package which they let us split into a 4 day/3 day package which we used before and after a 10 day trip on the Ocean Hunter 3. This allowed us to catch our flights which do not fly every day from Manila to Koror.

UW Photo Comments There were people to help carry your gear to the boat and a gear room to store equipment overnight. There was a dedicated camera rinse tank on the dock. However, there were no special camera work stations or charging outlets - but I didn't expect them when we were taking our cameras back to our hotel every night.
