OCEAN HUNTER I, PALAU: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best time of the year to visit Palau?
(Probably the most frequently asked question.) Palau is located 400 miles north of the equator and is totally out of typhoon range. The weather is typically the same any month of the year. Many years ago we experienced the phenomenon of DRY and WET seasons. However, due to global weather changes this no longer applies. The reefs around Palau and inside the lagoon allow us to dive and enjoy the water throughout the year. Since 1972, Fish 'n Fins has not cancelled a single day of diving!
2. Do you provide transportation to and from your dive center?
Yes! We provide free transportation to and from the Dive Center to all our guests! You can be dropped off at your hotel at the end of the day and picked up every morning.
3. Can I see what your previous customers thought??
