Day 2: (2 - 3 dives)
Dive sites may inlcude: Jake Seaplane / Chandelier Cave Iro wreck / Hafa Dai wreck
Today is our first day of diving, and Solitude Gaia will be anchored in Malakal Bay. After the welcome briefing and registration we will have up to 3 dives. Palau was a major battle ground between the USA and Japanese armed forces during WW2. There are several WW2 shipwrecks scattered in close proximity to the main town of Koror, Palau. You will have the possibility to dive shipwrecks or an airplane wreck. There is also a popular and easy cavern dive within a rock island in the area called the Chandelier Cave. The visibility within the rock islands is usually less than the famous outer reef dive sites in Palau, which gives an interesting variation to your Palau diving experience. In the evening we will lift anchor and move south to Ulong island.
