Gone Adventurin'

ACRES and Gone Adventurin’ invite you to embark on an exciting diving adventure in Palau, an island-nation 500kms east of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean that is made up of virtually untouched series of beautiful limestone islands. On this deep sea adventure, you will have the incredible opportunity to:

• Dive in the world’s first shark sanctuary and get close and personal with hundreds of grey reef sharks during their annual shark mating aggregation.
• Participate in the Micronesian Shark Foundation’s Shark Week and join experts and conservation advocates to learn more about sharks and marine conservation.
• Raise awareness for saving sharks and pledge your support to say NO to shark fin soup in Singapore.
