Palau

NOVEMBER 1-10, 2016

Thank you for your interest in our upcoming trip to Palau! I’ve been to Palau twice and always say, I have to go back!

This year’s trip will be aboard one of the worlds most beautiful vessels…the “Palau Siren!” Paterned after other world class dive vessels in the Indian Ocean, the Palau Siren will offer an experience we won’t forget. I have brochures at the shop for this vessel or you can go online at www.sirenfleet.com for more info on the boat.

Palau consists of thousands of beautiful islands typical of South Pacific beauty. During our week we will be diving the incredible walls and reefs surrounding these islands including the famous “Blue Corner” and “German Channel.” We’ll be seeing, along with the beautiful array of soft and hard corals, marine life that rivals any place in the world, including manta rays, sharks, cuttle fish, etc. We’ll also visit “Jelly Fish Lake” and dive the famous “Chandelear Caves!” If you haven’t yet been, this is another MUST DO before you leave this earth!

Our package will include 8 days, 7 nights aboard the Palau Siren, all meals, coffee, tea, soft drinks, 3-4 dives per day including tanks, weight belt, weights and nitrox. NOT INCLUDED: Airfare (suggested flights will be posted shortly), tip for the crew, alcoholic beverages, park fee ($200.00 paid on boat), departure tax and “Green Tax” paid in cash at airport.

We will be aboard the Palau Siren November 3-10, 2016. As with all my big trips, I try to offer an add on tour or another dive destination before or after our stay on the boat. This year, I’m looking at diving Guam, Yap or Majuro for a few days and will update this page after I look at possible flight itineraries. Because of time differences between the US and Palau, we have to allow several days travel time to arrive on time to meet the boat.

The cost of the boat package only is $4045.00 per person, double occupancy. Single occupancy pricing shortly. As mentioned above, the $200.00 park fee will be collected aboard the boat and the departure and “Green Tax” will be collected as cash at the airport upon departure. In order to hold your spot, I will need a non refundable deposit of $500.00 with the remaining balance due 120 days prior to departure. As with all my big trips, I will arrange a payment schedule to make it easier to pay off the balance. Note: Once deposited, you are liable for the full price of your spot. There are no refunds. Please consider trip cancellation insurance from DAN (diversalertnetwork.org), Diveasure.com or any other source.

Once we can find a flight schedule suitable for our trip, I will post these flights and have my tour and flight booking agent offer to book the flights for you. You would pay that fee to the agent via credit card or check. All payments for the boat must be made to Orbit Marine, 3273 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport, CT. 06605 and must be via check or cash. If you want to pay by credit card, I will have to add 3% for card processing.

More info is on it’s way! If you have any questions or want to sign on to this incredible trip, please call or e mail me at the numbers above. Space is limited to 16 and at this writing (10/30/15) I already have half the boat filled with serious interest! Only deposited individuals will be guaranteed space!

Thank you for your consideration.
