Overview of Palau Aggressor II
The Palau Aggressor II is a jet-powered catamaran with a maximum speed of 20kts completely refitted in 2009; she has a mere 4ft draught that allows her to manoeuvre in shallowest spots in Palau's intricate reef systems. Being a catamaran she offers fabulous stability and exceedingly spacious accommodation.
On the main deck accommodates 16 passengers in 8 air-conditioned deluxe staterooms each with private en suite bathrooms and panoramic windows out to the stunning scenery of Palau.
As the main vessel is used very much as a mother ship, divers are transported to the dive site by a 30ft high speed skiff, lowered and raised from the water to main deck level by means of a hydraulic ramp, that whisks people to the dive site in minutes. Tanks remain on the tender to be filled by whips from the compressor banks.
