The ROCK ISLANDS AGGRESSOR™ and PALAU AGGRESSOR II™ are sister ships and have been an Aggressor Fleet destination for over 23 years. Palau's mushroom-shaped rock islands aboard the ROCK ISLANDS AGGRESSOR™ offer a variety of exciting dives: WWII wrecks, shark-infested channels, blue holes, and even a few caves. There are also sheer walls covered in lush soft corals and huge anemones. Beginner divers may find Palau's strong currents challenging.

Getting There, Passports & Visa Documentation:

Palau is located 900 miles southwest of Guam and 400 miles south of Yap, at the westernmost edge of Micronesia. Palau is north of New Guinea and east of the Philippines. It is surrounded by warm, tropical water with spectacular reefs, walls and wrecks, making Palau a diver’s paradise.

Airlines fly into Koror (ROR) International Airport: United, Delta, Korean Air, Asiana Airlines and China Air.

Visitors must have a current passport, adequate funds to support themselves, and a return airline ticket. US citizens require a passport that must be valid for 6 months from date of entry. It is the travelers’ responsibility to ensure they have the proper visa to travel into each country on his or her itinerary as well as for re-entry and return to their country. Since regulations vary by country, contact your consulate or embassy of your country for the requirement.

Arrival/Boarding/Departure:

Guests arriving at the Koror (ROR) International Airport on Sunday evening will be greeted by a uniformed crewmember or a Neco Tourist Agent. There are no phones or taxis at the small airport so we may assist in your transfer to the yacht. If you are already on island, you may board at any time after 4:30 pm on Sunday. Guests may board the boat up until Monday morning, the boat departs the dock at 6:00 am. Aggressor is moored in front of Neco Marine (Malakai) Harbor in Palau. After a week of diving we return to the dock Saturday afternoon after lunch. Checkout is Sunday morning at 8 am. The crew will assist organizing transportation to either the airport or a local hotel if you are extending your stay. It may be possible to take a Saturday evening flight out of Koror to begin your trip home.

Palau Royal Resort Apr 1-5 2026

4 night stay and 4 dive days

$1595 double occupancy

The only thing better than diving in Palau is more diving in Palau! This resort-based week is the perfect warm-up for our Palau liveaboard, and all the details are arranged to ease you into the time zone.

After your arrival on the evening of April 1 we'll enjoy an unrushed mid-morning start to diving the next day from our private boat. Dive daily for the rest of the week until we board Palau Aggressor II early on Sunday evening. Breakfast and lunch are included daily, and we can visit different restaurants for dinner every evening, with one group welcome dinner included.

Get the hang of hooking in at Blue Corner and Ulong Channel so you can enjoy them even more when we return by liveaboard - and you'll also be prepared for Peleliu the following week! You won't mind experiencing some of the world's top dive sites twice. Bento box lunches on incredible beaches and a high-speed boat ride through the Rock Islands are a daily treat. If you want to brush up on skills you can book an instructor during this pre-trip.

Getting There

Both United and China Air (Taiwan based carrier) offer one stop service from some west coast cities, but not every day to Palau. If coming for both the pre trip and liveaboard week you can book these flights from SFO. Search Seattle, LAX, Chicago and you will likely find similar options.
