Great trip. I would highly recommended.
Excellent trip. The dive sites were varied (variety of ocean life, reck, blue holes, caverns, hanging on reef hooks, lots of turtles, etc.) The staff at the Ocean Hunter 3 were very nice and helpful.

If you love diving you'll love this boat!
If you LOVE diving this boat is for you! I still cannot believe how many dives we got in, and they were so diverse! We got to the "good places" before (and after) day trippers, always felt we had the ocean to ourselves, even when other boats might have been at some of the dive sites. Guides were excellent, knowledgeable (Ace and Epi), and super helpful. Entire crew was awesome, knew us all by our names, treated us very well. We were not a full boat so as a solo female traveler was thrilled to get a cabin to myself. Loved it so much I will be coming back next year with my husband. Cannot wait!

Immaculate trip to Palau
We were fortunate to have a week’s worth of perfect weather and diving conditions. The boat is well maintained and you can tell the owners at fish n fins and the staff take great care in showing guests all of Palau.

Amazing vacation!
Unbelievable diving in beautiful, clear water. The scenery was astounding every single moment I was above water. The crew was so friendly and attentive. The food - WOW!!!!! The only negative thing I could say about the trip is that I dove with heartburn every day from eating too much of the delicious food.

A great gourmet experience, but the dives could and should be better.
Sadly I have not been fully satisfied by this trip. The food has been by far the best ever tried on a diving boat , but the diving management has been poor. The main boat has been moved only one time and for all the week we have been always around the German Channel : were the weather conditions too bad ? It has been not explained. It has been evident from the very first dive that we should - and we could :9 guests 2 diving guides - be divided in 2 groups ：the photographers and the divers. Indeed the 2 guides has constantly tried to force everybody together, even when the pace was extra slow. And just to make everything worse in one day all the dives not only almost in the same area , but with the same profile " Maximum depth 21 meters" , why? We all know the max depth for AOW recreational is 30 mt and with the deep specialty 40 , so from what/where the constant 21 mtrs? I was so bored that I skipped some afternoon dives. At the middle of the week regarding this issues, I had a conversation with the Captain - Mr. Ken - after which he also step in the water and I admit the dives got better. DM313144

A great liveaboard with a great crew!
My trip on Ocean Hunter III was my second liveaboard and I couldn’t be happier with the crew and the guides. The food was excellent and they tried to meet every dietary restriction by making a special food for every need. The diving was also excellent and the guides and the captain were great and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend it for someone who wants to dive in Palau on a liveaboard.
