Palau didn’t disappoint
This is the ultimate dive, eat, sleep, repeat experience. Lots of beautiful and varied corals. Sharks, turtles and many different fish. Reef is vibrant. Holes, tunnels and caves for variety.

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!

- So many dives - 31 dives in 7 days!. Diversity of dives - walls, wrecks, reefs, channels (hook in and watch the sharks go by), cleaning stations, etc.. The other guests - we bonded, they were the best!.

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.
