Oct 3, 2026Palau— Safety summary changed: from Palau has very low crime and is one of the safest destinations in the Pacific. The real risks are in the water: strong currents, deep dives far from a recompression chamber, and boat trips through the Rock Islands in changeable weather. to Crime levels are low — theft of unattended items is more likely than confrontational crime — but credit card fraud, including skimming, has increased. In the water, take local advice before swimming or diving from high rocks: there are over 60 vertical drop-offs, some for experienced divers only, so check a dive operator's credentials and that safety equipment, particularly oxygen, is on the boat.
