The Mystery Destination is "Palau"

You can swim or dive with at least three creatures older than mankind.
Palau is notable for its marine bio-diversity including over 1,300 species of fish and over 700 species of coral but its reputation for "sharks on every dive" is among the main attraction for many scuba divers! To top it off, dive trips can include a visit to Jellyfish Lake to snorkel with millions of sting-less jellyfish, and an opportunity to dive with the chambered nautilus often referred to as a "living fossil". All of these creatures pre-date mankind.
Renown among divers for "Big Animal" dive encounters year round.
Palau is recognized by scuba divers for "Big Animal" encounters year round that include large schools of sharks, several species of mantas, and turtles on almost every dive! What's often over-looked is the fact that Palau has one of the largest fleet of diveable WWII wrecks in the Pacific.
This island chain is bordered by the Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Palau is located at approximately 7.20 North x 134.00 East on the very western edge of the island chain know as the Caroline Islands. Palau's East Coast marks the western edge of the vast Pacific Ocean while its West Coast marks the start of the Philippine Sea
