Beautiful!

Which one did you enjoy the most? I'm planning my first trip to Palau and I'm indecisive.

I enjoyed all three of them a lot, did 3-4 dives on each. My favorite was probably the seabreams, but that is the hardest one to get to and to get right, and also only 2 times a year, so I wouldn't plan around that if your time is limited.
If you only have time for one, the bumpheads are the easiest dive to get right. But that also means that more boats will be there. Still a great show if you're in the water at the right time though.
