# Diving in Micronesia Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Micronesia, Federated States of
sarahre 19:22 UTC 15 Jul 2007 | Hi I live in the UK and want to go to Micronesia diving. I am particularly interested in Palau as I have heard the diving here is fantastic, but have a few questions: Can anyone suggest some good liveaboards for this area? Would I be right in thinking February is a good time to go if I want to see big fish? Is 10 days on the liveaboard about the right length of time? Should I stick with Palau for the trip or are there other dive sites I should incorporate? What sort of prices am I likely to have to pay from the UK (flights+liveaboard). Any info appreciated. Thanks Sarah |

As far as liveaboards- I lived there so don't know. But I would check dive magazines and websites as often the combined trip (airfare, liveaboard, and diving) is a LOT cheaper than pulling it together for yourself. The diving is indeed fantastic- and the water warm as bathwater and clear. You should also check the diving board to see what they have to say. | 1
