The best trip I've ever had
Easily the best liveaboard I’ve ever done. The crew were phenomenal, I can’t recall a single error or issue, they are either perfect or so adaptable they can fix things on the fly without anyone noticing. The diving was surreal, not a single bad or even average dive. Truly will be dreaming of these dives for the rest of my life. My room was comfortable and had everything you could need. Also was not booked to capacity so had a room to myself despite paying to share, was super happy with this bonus! The chef + chef's assistant on board, Arlee and Gerald, are magic. I have coeliac disease and 4 times a day I was made the most incredible gluten free food, a god sent for a GF diver! I have already raved to multiple people about how great it was and recommended they book themselves a spot. I have started planning my next trip to Palau with friends, the Ocean Hunter 3 will be a non-negotiable! Also the booking process was seamless, timely and informative replies with enough info but not bombarded with emails. Lastly the owner greeted us prior to boarding, she was so friendly and welcoming and talked so highly of the crew, her pride is well placed! Can’t wait to be back in a few years to do it all again.

Great trip with lots of manta dives
It's been a great trip. The crew were really helpful and the food was excellent. I really enjoyed having several dives with mantas rather than a one off, even though it was the same dive site

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.

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.

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
