New Dive Destination: Palau
Striving always to bring you, our customers, the finest diving spots in the world, we have added Palau as our latest new destination. Already a lot of people have booked with us to visit this amazing Pacific island paradise – and with good reason. This gorgeous island chain is blessed with clear, clean water washing pristine, multi-coloured reefs. There are enough sharks, manta rays and big schools of fish to impress even the most well-travelled diver.
You can also experience the bizarre sensation of snorkelling with thousands of stingless jellyfish in an island lake. Add to this the WWII wreck diving possibilities, plus reef dives where bullets, shells and artillery from 1944 lie amid pristine fields of hard coral, and you can see why a week on a liveaboard in Palau is a 'must do' for so many scuba enthusiasts! Check out what happened when Dive The World visited Palau just last month in our Palau trip report below.

Dive The World Operator of the Year Awards
As you probably saw on all the mainstream news channels and all over the blogosphere our 2014 award went to ... Maldives Aggressor.
With consistently positive reviews like this, the Maldives Aggressor is a worthy winner: "The boat was beautiful and the staff was excellent-they were friendly, knowledgeable, safety conscious, and went out of their way to meet everyone's needs. I rented a BCD and regulators and they were in good condition. A fantastic trip all around!" - Robin Waxman, USA.

Palau Dive Cruise Report
Palau is a destination like no other. Where else can you do reef hook dives surrounded by fish and sharks? Or snorkel amid a lake of stingless jellyfish and explore air pockets in caves? Or indeed dive the wrecks of ships and planes and sites of WWII significance? The answer is: nowhere! That is what makes Palau a unique destination for a week-long liveaboard trip. So what is it really like? Gavin Macaulay was there in March of this year. Find out what he made of it in his Palau Aggressor Dive Cruise Report
Creature Feature: Minke whales
Seldom do we, as divers, get the chance to scuba dive with cetaceans. There are some places where dolphins may show up or a huge whale may cruise past in the distance, but not many. However if you dive the Great Barrier Reef in season you can not only dive this awesome region, but also have the wonderful experience of sharing the water with playful minke whales. How much do you know about these beautiful creatures? Well find out more in our creature feature on Minke whales
