Wow Palau!
What an incredible week of diving we’ve just had in Palau. What makes this little slice of the Pacific so amazing is its long-standing commitment to conservation. Palau is home to one of the largest marine protected areas in the world and was the first marine park of its kind, protecting 80% of a country’s national waters with a fully protected no-take zone. Palau is a true leader in marine conservation, and after more than a decade the results are clear. With direct flights now running out of Australia, I can see many return trips on the horizon. You can read about our trip in Scuba Diver ANZ issue # 73 here.
