Scuba Diving Palau with Fish 'n Fins

DIVE OPERATION

Boats

You did not travel all the way to Palau to dive, just to be piled up in the same boat with 20 other divers. At Fish 'n Fins we limit the number of divers per boat. Explore our reefs with few divers around you.

All our boats have cushioned seating, protective overhead covering, and dry storage compartments. We have boats measuring:

35 feet 2 X 225 HP 4-stroke engines
35 feet 2 X 225 HP 4-stroke engines

Tanks and Air

Fish 'n Fins offers the diver a wide variety of Air Tanks: 80 (our standard), 100, 70, and 63 cubic feet, which are all painted blue.

Our NITROX tanks are aluminum 80's painted in the NITROX yellow/green color. We have Standard and DIN valves available
and we guarantee your tanks will always be filled to their maximum working capacity.

Dive Guides

You will always have at least one dive guide on your boat, often an international team of two, who will lead you in the water on every dive, helping you identify fish, showing you underwater secrets, and answering all your questions about Palau. Our dive guides are all trained to at least the PADI Divemaster level and are underwater naturalists. They hail from Germany, Japan, Russia, USA, Philippines, Israel, U.K and Holland. However, we also have made a commitment since 1972 to hire and train local Palauan dive guides, so the majority of our guides and all our boat captains are Palauan. Having grown up around the reef, they act as invaluable sources of knowledge, and ambassadors into Palauan culture as well. The Dive Guides are there to ensure you have a fun and safe trip.

Itinerary

We have a flexible dive itinerary customized according to our divers' wishes and our knowledge of the best dive sites for the day's conditions.

A morning dive trip leaves around 8:30am and returns anywhere from 3:30-5:30pm, earlier or later at your request.

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--we have a picnic 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

We make sure everyone visits where they want to go.

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.

Safety

We carry an O2 kit on each boat. Our dive guides and boat captains are specially trained in handling all diving and boating emergencies. One or more dive guides will enter the water with you on each dive to guarantee your safe and enjoyable dive. We make safety our number one priority and have years of experience--since 1972!
