Palau - House reef recommendations in Koror

[diver2005]

Hello!!

My wife and I are looking to dive on some easy/intermediate house reefs in Koror for 3 days before heading out on a liveaboard. We want to warm up and practice our underwater photography skills. Would love to get your recommendations on dive centers / hotels that have a house reef where we can do unguided dives. We are experience divers with 250+ dives. Below are a few options I'm researching into:
1. Sams tour dive center - I think i read somewhere that they do have a house reef, but i'm not 100% sure. Also I do not know if they offer just gear/tank rentals for unguided dives. I have emailed them.
2. Fish n fins - They do have a house reef but they want me to book boat dives with them to get access to their house reef. I am most likely going to hit all the boat diving dive sites with the liveaboard so I don't want to spend more on doing the same sites!
3. Palau Pacific resort - too pricey

Any other you guys recommend? Or have more info on the above options?

There are some day dive sites that the live-a-boards do not do. We used Sam's Tours for a day of diving and made a specific dive site request, some others wanted the same site so we were all happy. Though two others were surprised. As such, ask the tour operators.

We spent 2 weeks in Palau. Dove with Sams. First week at Palau Pacific, expensive but beautiful..the house reef is incredible. Giant clams, much sealife. In 40 years of diving all over the world, the best house reef I have seen. Week 2 at Sea Passions. More budget friendly, but we could walk to Sams. Great restaurants nearby

It was a long time ago but the house reef at PPR was really good. So many giant clams, actually you could see alot snorkeling.
Splash dive center is there, We were staying there and they were happy to just rent us tanks and point out the way to go. I’m not sure but I don’t think you need to be staying at PPR to dive with them, just have to get there.

We also did a great kayak tour with Sams.
