We are pleased to announce the addition of M/Y Tropic Dancer to the Dancer Fleet! Peter Hughes Diving in cooperation with owner Palau Watersports, presents the M/Y Tropic Dancer. Beginning June 6, 2010, Tropic Dancer, based in Koror, Palau, will cruise the Rock Islands of Palau and beyond, taking divers to the best diving Micronesia has to offer. We are excited to have found the long sought after opportunity to return to Palau, one of our favorite destinations and one that has never been far from our hearts. M/Y Tropic Dancer, a spacious, comfortable catamaran specifically built for diving, stretches 106 feet long, 31 feet wide & accommodates 18 guests who are pampered by a crew of 8! Eight deluxe cabins with picture window views and one double cabin with porthole view all feature en-suite facilities and are equipped with modern conveniences. Following the standards of the Dancer Fleet, the Tropic Dancer replicates Peter Hughes Diving service, amenities and the highest standards of safety in the industry. Once settled in on this comfortable yacht and ensconced in Dancer Fleet surroundings, your clients will be ready to focus on the huge variety the underwater world of Palau has to offer. Diving will be conducted from an 18 passenger tender which will transport guests to exciting Palau dive sites like Peleliu Express, Blue Corner, German Channel and Ulong Channel, just to name a few. Most of the diving in Palau is drift diving and this speedy tender, easily boarded from the dive deck of M/Y Tropic Dancer and easily re-entered from the water upon surfacing, will deliver your clients to the best diving around.
