General Information

A morning dive trip leaves around 8:30am and returns anywhere from 3:30-5:30pm. In between two dives, take a one-hour surface interval in a beautiful snorkel spot where you can explore around the Rock Islands. Lunch is usually after the two dives- a picnic lunch on a Rock Island beach. Without paying extra, you can stop and snorkel at the intact and shallow Zero plane, the giant Tridacna clams, or ask your driver about the Milky Way–you’ll be in for a traditional treatment: Palauan white clay masks with a private lagoon for a spa. Enjoy the scenic boat ride including WWII relics, ancient red cave paintings, and the famous Rock Island Arch.

Sit back, relax, and let us take you to the best sites Palau has to offer.

Scuba Highlights

What is a reef hook?
It is a metal hook approximately 4″(10cm) long attached to a 6 foot (2m) rope and a snap ring. You secure the snap ring to one of the D rings in your BCD.

Why use a reef hook?
Some of the dive sites in Palau (such as Blue Corner, New Drop Off, Peleliu Corner, etc.) have strong currents (which attract the big fish and sharks). The reef hook enables you to secure yourself to the reef without any effort and without damaging the pristine reef.

While reaching the desired spot on the reef to observe the action, we locate a rock or dead coral and literally hook the reef hook to it. The current will keep the line stretched and both our hands will be free (ideal for photographers). You should put a little air in your BCD to float above the reef, however remember to take it out before you unhook!

Where to buy it?
Invented in Palau by Francis Toribiong, the founder of Fish ‘n Fins, the reef hook can be found in many dive shops around the world. Fish ‘n Fins offers stainless steel hooks that will not rust and will accompany you on many dive expeditions to come.
