Updated!!
After getting everyone's work and flying schedules coordinated we have discovered in order to meet everyone's needs we had to move our date back one day. So our air fare is scheduled for departure on the 7th, not the 8th from either airport. This does not change any of the following information, other than flight times. A complete list of flight times and dates from each airport (IAH and LAX) can be found below. All of the information contained here is accurate as of Feb 1 2007.

Palau is one of the most
extraordinary diving spots on this planet. Far to the southwest of Micronesia
the Republic of Belau (the traditional name) consists of an archipelago of 343
islands, spread north to south over 100 miles form the atoll of Kayangel to the
island of Angaur plus five tiny islands, known as the southwest islands.
Palau's profuse, unspoiled reefs offer a wealth of marine life,
coral formations and wrecks. Dives begin in knee deep water and plunge straight
down to depths of 1000 feet and more.
Blue holes, huge caverns and an
immense variety of rare and exotic marine species are easily accessible in clear
water with visibility exceeding 200 feet. Vast numbers, not found anywhere else
in the world, of large pelagic predators, sharks, turtles, dolphins and many
species of migratory fish gather here at a unique crossroads of three of the
world's major ocean currents. Land locked marine lakes, accessible from the sea
through tunnels beneath the island's steep shorelines, are home to rare jelly
fish, anemones and soft corals.
Palau's famed "Rock Islands" are a collection of rounded,
foliage-covered isles which seem to float above the surface of the water. A boat
trip through them will reveal a number of magnificent white sand beach hideaways
perfect for a secluded picnic or adventurous overnight stay. Below the water's
surface, divers and snorkelers are treated to a diverse Technicolor paradise of
fabulous drop-offs, blue holes , breathtaking reefs, crystal caves and World War
II wrecks.
Diving &
Snorkeling
Palau offers an enormous number of diversified diving experiences not
duplicated anywhere else in the world. There are over 100 different dive sites
in and around the 90 mile coral lagoon and adjacent islands.
Palau was named
the Number One Underwater Wonder of the World by CEDAM -- a group of marine
scientists and conservationists.
Over 1300 types of fish inhabit the region,
including manta rays, barracuda, sharks and giant clams.
The world famous
Rock Islands are a divers "must" with magnificent wall diving at such legendary
sites as Blue Corner, Ngmelis Drop-off, Blue Hole and Peleliu Corner.
Because of the clarity of the waters, snorkeling is excellent in or near
almost all of the famous dive sites of Palau.
There are a number of sightseeing tours available to visitors, including:
Coral reefs teeming with brilliant marine life furnish world
class diving for every level of certification, and snorkelers, alike.
Certification courses are available at the dive center. Sports fishing
excursions, bottom, casting and trawling, are available.
Palau's mushroom-shaped rock islands offer a variety of
exciting dives: WWII wrecks, shark-infested channels, blue holes, a
freshwater lake with stingless jellyfish 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. All dives are made
from the 18-passenger dive skiff, which is lowered into the water by a
hydraulic cradle. Seven-day charters are Sunday to Sunday with five days
and one-half days of diving. Diving begins Monday and ends Saturday
morning. Transfers from the Palau airport are provided on the day of
arrival and departure.
