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

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.

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.

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.

Nice diving holidays despite unfavorable weather
Compared to the Maldives, the corals here are much better preserved. Ulong Wall was like a cinema, hook up the current hook and just look: especially many reef sharks.The food on the Ocean Hunter was excellent too!

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.

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
