Intro I had already booked and paid for my March 2022 to trip to Palau when Aron Arngrimsson from The Dirty Dozen Expeditions reached out to me and said that they were organizing an inaugural expedition to Palau and asked if I wanted to go.

It was a great time and I highly recommend diving with them when you are in Grand Cayman for either recreational or technical [...]
