Palau's New Diving Hall of Fame Recipients

Palau’s Fish ‘n Fins Dive Shop is proud to present two inductees to the prestigious Scuba Diving Hall of Fame. 

Mr. Francis Toribiong, (aka “Mr. Dive Palau”) was inducted into the Scuba Diving Hall of Fame in 2010 for his pioneer diving in Palau, discovering many famous dive sites and WWII wrecks. Additionally, Fish ‘n Fins’ proprietor Tova Harel Bornovski was just inducted into the Women Scuba Diving Hall of Fame in 2013 as the founder of the Micronesian Shark Foundation and for her work with Shark research and education. Toribiong originally opened Fish ‘n Fins in 1972 and subsequently passed the reins of the business to Bornovski and her husband Navot in 1998.

  Fish ‘n Fins Dive Shop is the only dive shop in Palau (probably the only dive shop in the world) to showcase this recognition of pioneering and exploring Palau’s dive sites and WWII wrecks, as well as dedication to Palau’s famous shark population.  As a matter of fact, Fish ‘n Fins Dive Shop is continuing to explore additional new dive sites with the assistance of its new helicopter that provides an aerial overview of the reefs.
