Finally we've all agreed to take a liveaboard in Palau. However, one girl is worried about getting seasickness while on board.
Can anyone give me any hint about the sea condition in Palau now?
I've never had seasickness on a liveaboard. So this issue didn't come to my mind before the girl brought this up.

Many thanx:)
 
if the person is prone to sea sickness I am not sure it matters about the condition of the sea the seas can change from glassy calm to raging in no time....if she is just worried about it because she has never been on a boat/liveaboard she needs to take over the counter meds until she feels she has her sea legs....or visit her doctor for a script.....I usually take them the night before I board and the first day....just as a precaution...I have never been sea sick on any type of boat....but that doesn't mean it won't happen...have a great trip :-)
 
The boat anchors overnight in a sheltered location (German Channel or Peleliu Harbor at least as far as the Aggressor is concerned), and we took the skiff from the boat's location to the dive site so we didn't have to worry about bobbing around the open ocean during our surface intervals either. However, there can be a stretch of rough water heading to Peleliu and back. I got a touch of queasiness in one direction, I recall, even on the twin-hulled Aggressor. Fortunately it's a short ride.
 
Hi Mossman, what time of the year did you go to Palau?

Size does matter!!!!
Compare Big Blue and Ocean Hunter I.
But Ocean Hunter I does bring you directly to the site instead of a speed boat.
