Hi: I am wondering if anyone has been on the Eco Explorer Liveaboard in Asia? How was it? I am trying to get some information about this ship which is operating in Palau right now but nobody seems to me has been on it. Thanks

Hi Robint; can't wait to see your pictures. Just a quick questions: How many divers were on the Eco Explorer and how did they handle all of the divers. Thanks.

We had 9 to start with (2 from Thailand, 1 from Australia, and 5 from US), one left (a tour guide from Germany)halfway through the week. Another 5 divers (from US) arrived for a 5 day stay and a single diver arrived on the next to the last day who was staying for 5 days. So that being said, we had 9 divers for the first 2 full days, 14 divers for 1 day, 13 divers for a few more days, and 14 divers for the last 2 days. We ended up all using the large chaseboat all week and it worked out fine. Everyone was good in the water and rarely was it too crowded. We all got along really well also which helped! The smaller chaseboat was used for taking the people leaving early back to Koror and picking up the new divers when they arrived bringing them out to German Channel.
The day we left there was the one lady(from Japan) diving by herself in the am. A group of 3 guys (from Thailand I think) and another group of 6 guys (from France) arrived that day. My guess is that they would continue using the large chaseboat for diving and the small one as a water taxi.
