Palau at its best!

Sam's Dive Tours offer their guests more than 70 dive sites. At Sam's, the guides have the flexibility to honour requests of each and every diver. Dives are scheduled every day. Sam has built a first-class team of PADI instructors, marine biologists and trained naturalists. As a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Centre, Sam's Tours can meet all diving enthusiasts' needs from the inexperienced to the most advanced.

Nitrox is offered free of charge to all nitrox certified divers!

Dive Sites

Sam's fast day boats reach all the main dive sites around the archipelago. Such sites include the sharks of Blue Corner, the manta rays of Devilfish City and German Channel as well as the coral reefs and stunning drop-offs teeming with marine life. You can explore any of a dozen WWII wrecks or countless marine lakes.

Sam's also offers tours to incredible dive sites less frequented by others such as Devil Fish City, Ulong Channel, Peleliu, Shark City, and West Passage.
