About this center

Palau's top dive operator with daily trips to Blue Corner, German Channel, and the Rock Islands.

Sam's Tours is Palau's most established dive operation, running daily trips to the legendary dive sites of this western Pacific island nation. Palau is consistently ranked among the world's top three dive destinations, and Sam's Tours has been taking divers to its most spectacular sites for over 30 years.

The centre's daily itineraries include Blue Corner — widely considered one of the top five dive sites on the planet. Divers hook into the reef at 15 metres while grey reef sharks, whitetip sharks, Napoleon wrasse, and massive schools of barracuda and jacks swirl past in the current. German Channel is the go-to site for manta ray encounters, where cleaning stations attract mantas year-round. Jellyfish Lake offers a unique non-diving experience — swimming among millions of non-stinging golden jellyfish in a marine lake.

Sam's also runs multi-day liveaboard trips to the outer reefs and Peleliu, where WWII wrecks and extreme drift dives provide advanced-level thrills. PADI and SSI courses are available in English and Japanese.
