Comments We booked just two weeks before departure and took advantage of a deep discount, but I will return at regular prices (it was that good). The best thing about the boat was that it has an elevator for the dive skiff. You step right on to the skiff from the dive deck...no bouncing boat here. After everyone is aboard, the entire boat and divers descends into the water.

This was my third trip to Palau. One shore based, and one on a different liveaboard. The Palau Aggressor II was head and shoulders above the previous trips.

My buddy and I arrived several days early and got our required Covid test. We were the only divers that boarded on Sunday afternoon, so we had a deluxe dinner served by the entire crew in class A uniforms...what service! Food was excellent the entire trip. The rest of the group arrived after the 1am flight arrival (without the required Covid test)...we departed that night and returned to port in a few days for them to get the Covid tests...several of them failed and were removed from the boat.

We dove all the usual places...Blue Corner, Blue Hole, German Channel, etc...and they were great as expected.
