Neco Marine Dive Center

Dive center in  
Neco Marine is a PADI dive center located in Malakal, Palau. Our company specializes in providing bespoke island tours particularly in Scuba Diving, fishing and boat charters with an emphasis on the responsible and sustainable enjoyment of our islands. Our goal is to provide our guests a seamless and carefree experience of Paradise during their visit.
Our company started in 1984 as an office run out of a cargo container, with a small open boat, a handful of scuba tanks and a second hand air compressor. Since then, we've now become PADI’s first 5* Gold Palm, National Geographic dive center on Palau. Our shop is proudly 100% Palauan owned and operated by the NECO Group of Companies. Our shop is located right on the water at the beginning of Malakal Island in Koror, flanked by the Palau Royal Resort, The Cove Resort, Sea Passion Hotel and Palau Vacation Hotel and just down the street from West Plaza Malakal.
Our facility includes the Neco Marina, the very popular Drop Off Bar and Grill, state of the art Bauer compressors, Generon Oxygen Membranes, high performance custom built Yamaha speed boats, highly maintained Aqua Lung regulators and BCDs, and finally the island's only Scuba Diving training pool. We are also pleased to offer a variety of watersports and diving gear at our retail shop carrying popular brands such as GoPro, Mares, Mobby, Maui Jim, Omer, Aqua Lung, Apex, and Pelican.
NECO Marine is also a proud supporter and contributor to the Palau National Olympic Committee, Micronesian Voyage Society, Palau Conservation Society, the Ngatpang State Youth and Sports Teams, the Coral Reef Research Foundation, and the Palau International Coral Reef Center.
