  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 the ROCK ISLANDS AGGRESSOR™ 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.. The Rock Islands Aggressor is moored in front of Neco Marine (Malakai) Harbor in Palau.  After a week of diving the ROCK ISLANDS AGGRESSOR™ returns 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.

  If you'd like a different payment plan just ask. We can be pretty flexible. Rainbow Divers is a 501(c)7 non-profit mutual benefit organization, and can only organize activities and trips for its members. Trips are priced to break even. Excess cash flow is rebated to divers. Membership is cheap and comes with a bunch of new lifelong friends at no extra charge. So if you’d like to participate in this trip, please join us.

  Payments are generally non-refundable. If you sign up and your plans change there may or may not be someone interested in taking your spot. If you cancel without having made all payments it is your responsibility to find someone to pay your obligation in full. It is a very good idea to carry trip insurance to cover such an eventuality.
  

  
  Trip payments may be made by PayPal or by personal check. PayPal will accept credit card payments, regardless of whether you have a PayPal account. The price is the same regardless of payment method.  Please consider using PayPal, as electronic payment greatly simplifies the work of our volunteers.  Please send PayPal payments to paypal@rainbowdivers.org
  

  All divers on this trip should be comfortable diving in currents and have good buoyancy skills.  Divers are required to carry valid, in-force dive accident insurance, such as Divers' Alert Network (DAN).

  Getting There and Back
  

  Book your tickets directly to Little Cayman (LYB) on Cayman Airways, or call the helpful staff at Clearly Cayman at 1-800-327-3835 to book flights using American, Delta, United, and other carriers to Grand Cayman with connecting flights to Little Cayman all on one ticket for a reasonable service fee. Just let them know you are part of the "Rainbow Divers" group and give them the dates of travel, May 29-June 5, 2021. They can also arrange extra nights or layovers on Little Cayman or Grand Cayman.

  You can book separate tickets online to Grand Cayman, and then on Cayman Express from Grand Cayman to Little Cayman; be aware, however, that if you book separate tickets one airline is not obligated to help you if the other is delayed and you miss a connection. It's better to book both flights on the same electronic ticket.
  

  
  As you plan your departure, please keep in mind that this package includes SIX days of morning boat dives, Sunday-Friday, so schedule your Saturday departure with an appropriate surface interval after your last planned dive. If you have questions, just call and ask us! The friendly staff at Clearly Cayman are also happy to clarify travel arrangements after diving.
