Palau from end of August till mid-September

[Liberty01]

Hi,
I know that end of August till mid-September is not the best time for Palau both for weather and wildlife.
But how much do the conditions affect the diving? Is it still spectacular? Or better wait another year to go in March?
Best regards,
Liberty

I was there in mid-September a few years back and it was great. A typhoon passing to the north of Guam did impact us somewhat but we still did 39 dives in 9 days aboard the Aggressor boat. I think the swells kept us from getting down to Peleliu.

It's still spectacular, and slightly less crowded at the popular tourist sites. Fewer mantas, though.
