Micronesia

I saw the most amazing Lonely planet episode about that area and it looked amazing to me and its kind of near Australia another big one on my list

This is a SCUBA Diver’s Haven. If you ever have the chance to go, be sure to take a dive in Blue Corner and the German Channel. Also check out the Mandarin Fish!!!

I lived throughout Micronesia for a little more than 3 years. I was fortunate enough to not only go diving around several islands, but I was a Scuba Instructor for the majority of my stay. I have to say that Palau is the MOST AMAZING diving I have ever done. If you get a chance to make it this far from Mainland USA, you have to dive BLUE CORNER. I dove it almost every day for 3 weeks straight and was never even close to bored—teeming with life of all varities and SHARKS SHARKS SHARKS…

There is almost nothing else to do on Palau (although the Kayaking is awesome)...but if you love diving and want to be spoiled beyond belief…go to Palau. (Also recommend Jellyfish Lake (once) and many many other dives including wall dives, drift dives, cavern diving and a few wreck dives (that can be done without wreck training as they are not penetrating dives). The best way to do it would be a Liveaboard, but even if you just stay on Koror and do day trips, you will not regret your choice to go so far from home just to get wet!

Hope this helps and inspires…if I get a chance I will upload some pictures.

Nothing can beat a micronesian sunset. But then, to me, it’ll always be home.
