Palau or the Republic of Belau is one of the most amazing diving spots on this planet. Opening Video Palau
I stayed at a island of my own for three days it was great!!!!!!! The Rock Islands are the most beautiful sea scene well I have ever seen. Far to the south and west of Micronesia Belau consists of an archipelago of about 350 islands. It is spread north to south over 100 miles form the atoll of Kayangel to the island of Angaur plus five tiny islands, known as the southwest islands.
Palau's profuse, unspoiled reefs offer a wealth of marine life, coral formations and wrecks. Dives begin in knee deep water and plunge straight down to depths of 1000 feet and more.
Blue holes, huge caverns and an immense variety of rare and exotic marine species are easily accessible in clear water with visibility exceeding 200 feet. Vast numbers, not found anywhere else in the world, of large pelagic predators, sharks, turtles, dolphins and many species of migratory fish gather here at a unique crossroads of three of the world's major ocean currents. Land locked marine lakes, accessible from the sea through tunnels beneath the island's steep shorelines, are home to rare jelly fish, anemones and soft corals.
Palau's famed "Rock Islands" are a collection of rounded, foliage-covered isles which seem to float above the surface of the water. A boat trip through them will reveal a number of magnificent white sand beach hideaways perfect for a secluded picnic or adventurous overnight stay. Below the water's surface, divers and snorkelers are treated to a diverse technicolor paradise of fabulous drop-offs, blue holes , breathtaking reefs, crystal caves and World War II wrecks.

Paul, congratulations on being a privileged discoverer of that remote place for three days there! Great!
Beaches and seas look even better than American Samoa - and for you to say they're the best you've ever seen is really some compliment!
Breathtaking view of Rock Islands. Just can't wait to step my feet on this island end 2007. It will be the trip of a lifetime for me.
It's magic!! The scenery and underwater world are really breathtaking!! And Angaur is definitely my sort of place :))
Nirvana for divers and local pols. I understand there is 50 States here! Every other family has a Senator. Thanks for the tips and pics!
Wow Paul :-)) This is another of these fantastic off path places !! Your intro photo is.... simply magic !!
