The latest from Mexico is reporting that there are 99 reported cases today with 8 deaths. This being an 8% mortality rate is why folks are so concerned. Yes, there are 30,000 deaths from the "usual" influenza, but at a much lower mortality rate. Mexico has a good health care system, and the...

I like the AI feature and did not mind spending the money on it. I did get a great deal on one however. So the answer is for me it was worth it. dnhill

Scuber, I have stayed at all three in the past few years. I stay at the all inclusives when my non-diving wife and daughter tag along. My least favorite was the Reef Club. The facilities were fine, but I found the service poor and the food worse (my family refused to eat there after a few...

I have stayed at most of the places that you had a question about. I liked Reef Club the least of all mentioned. Of the southern resorts, I liked the Occidental and Iberostar. Iberostar, has had some problems in the past in allowing other operators to pick up from their pier. I hope you...

NECO was able to put together a peleliu trip for me. I really wanted to take the land tour. We did one dive at Yellow Wall at the island. Two of us took the tour, which was nice. The others on the boat did another dive while we took the tour. We then went to German Channel and dove with a...

I have been diving with all three that you mention. I recommend Liquid Blue. If you go, tell Michaela and Roberto hello for me Duane

Tim, Great report. I thought Palau was a very nice place to dive. If only I moved to Hawaii, it would be a lot closer. dnhill

Sherry, Welcome to our addiction. We hold meetings here at scubaboard. Start out by admitting that you are a coz addict. dnhill

Cozlover2 - I would say that the current had a range about like Cozumel. From zero to fast. The only difference was that there was a bit more "surge" on a couple of the dives. The surge required a little more distance from the wall so that you did not impact it. I had no problem with it, and...

Tim - From my understanding the "dry season" means less rain. It rained more than half of the days I was there. A few of the days it rained only at night. I would go prepared for rain. The water temp was usually 82-85 degrees. dnhill

I did not do any shore diving. We did three tanks a day and I was pretty tired. I did snorkle at PPR and was amazed at all that was there. Tim - I saw your boat there - it looked nice dnhill

Trip Report Palau 1-20-06 Palau Pacific Resort and NECO Marine I used Trip-N-Tour for this trip. The trip was originally scheduled for October, but I had to change due to hurricane Rita. Trip-N-Tour was great to work with. Palau Pacific Resort was a beautiful facility with great guest...

Wade, Thanks for the report. Most of my dive experience is in Cozumel. If it is any better than that, I can't wait. dnhill

Wade, I will be following on January 20th. Be sure and provide a trip report. What you liked and disliked would be of help. I am staying at PPR and diving NECO. Can't wait. I was supposed to go the first of October, but hurricane Rita (aftermath) just would not let me go. dnhill

I called Continental after Hurricane Rita struck my home and business. I had a trip scheduled for diving in Palau three weeks later. I was not going to be able to go as there was some damage to repair. I expected that there would be some major fees to change the trip to January. There were...

I have stayed there with my son about 3 years ago. The room was fine for us, and I enjoyed being close enough to town to walk to eat. I went looking around and found the tennis court. The manager was checking the court condition out and asked if I wanted to play him in a friendly game. He...

Christi, Looks like it is going to be a bad one. Find the safest area you can. We are praying for you and for all on the island. Just went through Rita and she was a cat 3. I will never do that again. It looks like Wilma will be at least a cat 4. Get behind something very strong and...

Best wishes from Southeast Texas. We don't want another storm or for you to get one either.

Pay no attention to my trip counter. I had a visit from Rita and she was no lady. House OK, but the business will be closed for at least two weeks. I must remain to try to put it back together. Good news is that I will be able to reschedule for sometime next year. dnhill
