Dear Team Member,
I hope this message finds you healthy and well. You know how we always say, “Sign up for our newsletter and be notified first about exclusive expedition announcements and member-only offers?”
Today is one of those days.
Palau is OPEN for divers and The Dirty Dozen Expeditions is in the final stages to secure and organize an exclusive WWII Wreck Expedition in August THIS year with FULL CCR/OC TEC support.
OFTEN OVERLOOKED WRECK PARADISE
Operation Desecrate One on March 30-31 1944 sank over 30 vessels and offers one of the most accessible and diverse wreck diving sites on the planet. A dozen world-class wrecks lie either in - or within minutes of - Malakal Harbor, Palau’s main port.
Aside from the numerous Japanese merchant vessels, tankers, destroyers, and planes, other highlights include the USS Perry (DD-340/DMS-17), a Clemson-class destroyer in the photo above that survived the battle of Pearl Harbour and took part in numerous operations in the Pacific Theater during WWII.
In true Dirty Dozen style, we have created an entirely unique wreck diving itinerary like no other, hosted by Aron alongside local wreck experts who will be joining us on board.
WHAT BOAT ARE WE USING?
Launched in 2012, the 40m Palau Siren liveaboard was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and is handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional to the area). You will find no other diving liveaboard as beautiful in Palau waters and, being built by divers for divers by our partners Master Liveaboards, you can rest assured that every need has been thought of and addressed for the demanding wreck diver.
WANT TO JOIN US IN AUGUST?
The Dirty Dozen is hungry for rust, and I bet you are too if you read this long.

Best,
Aron Arngrímsson and the DDE Team
