A pleasant dive experience onboard
Overall, my experience was good. I noticed that abot 40% of dives In the advance program sent to us were not done and some dives were repeated at our will. As an example, we bought peleli dive permit to dive there 3 or 4 times. But had only one dive. Also. Jelly Fish Lake and Mandarin Lake dives were discarded automatically. I can understand such changes are at the discreteion of boat captain abd dive guide team, changes at this magnitude sound bizarre to me. They should modify their program accordingly, I admit 25 dives are more than enough for 7 days. Overall, I am a satisfied customer. Though I had more luxioruos food options in different liveaboard trips, this one was for the taste, preparation, and presentation of food. Thank you guys for the excellent job.

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.

Just perfect
First, note that diving was quite intense (5 dives per day). Although some would prefer a bit less diving and more land tours, some might love it. :) The dives were quite diverse (wrecks, open ocean, walls, reefs, drift, night, lagoons, blue holes, and even an easy cavern). It was also a really good boat for underwater photographers and the right place for learning wide-angle. The crew was also really nice and skilled. To be noted, the food was also really diverse and good. I highly recommend

Best Liveaboard ever!
Manta Rays on several dives, loads of different sharks, wreck dives, cave dive, friendly Napoleon wrasse who knew Ken the captain, great night dives with cuttlefish, grey reef sharks. Saw so many new fish species I’d never seen before like the Crocodile fish, Mandarin Fish, giant sea slug, lemon shark, bull shark, and so much more. This was my 5th liveaboard and definitely the best one yet.

Palau is amazing and Ocean Hunter 3 does a great job of maximizing your dives.
Lots of diving (up to 5 per day), including several night dives and cavern dives. Palau is amazing! Fabulous coral, manta rays, turtles, octopus, sharks, etc., better than Maldives and Red Sea IMO. Interesting WW2 wrecks. I am so glad we chose this trip and I definitely recommend it to intermediate or advanced divers as the current is strong in places.

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.
