Route Description - Full Moon Spawning (10 nights)

Palau Siren's 10 night, Special Full Moon Spawning liveaboard scuba diving itinerary offers guests something truly exceptional. Divers joining these cruises will have a chance to witness one of the most spectacular natural events on earth; the spawning aggregations of the red snapper (lutjanus bohar) at full moon lunar cycles.

Around the time of the full moon in Palau, vast numbers of red snappers aggregate to perform a spawning spectacle full of energy and excitement. It is something only a select few people ever get to witness and you can be one of them. During the period of the liveaboard itinerary when the full moon spawning will occur, Palau Siren’s Cruise Director will give a number of informative presentations about these unique dives, covering everything from the ecology of these events to the best way to photograph them.

Please note that these dives are only for the experienced diver as there can often be very strong currents at the sites where the action is happening.

Diving on these itineraries is mostly within the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a day at Peleliu. The islands have narrow channels and current flows that change with the tides making navigation around some parts of the lagoon more ideally suited to the skiff tenders. Additionally, Palau Siren and all other liveaboards in Palau are mandated to use specific mooring areas and anchorage points scattered around the Rock Islands, meaning that cruising within the lagoon and around the islands is minimal. Dive groups are dropped off and picked up at the dives sites by the skiffs with transfer between the main vessel and most dive locations usually taking 5-15 minutes depending on where Palau Siren is anchored.

In addition to the spawning dives, on some itineraries we offer the opportunity to experience ‘Blackwater’ diving in Palau. Imagine rolling off the boat in the pitch black of night, sometimes many miles away from the shallow water of the reefs, to watch large migrations of weird and wonderful creatures as they ascend from the depths towards the surface to feed.

On a typical day we offer a total of up to 4 dives; 3 day dives and a sunrise, sunset or night dive depending on spawning times. The diving day is scheduled as follows:

Light Breakfast followed by a briefing and Dive 1
Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 2
Lunch, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 3
Snack relaxation period, briefing and Dive 4, where possible
Dinner


*Where land tours are offered, only 3 dives will be possible
