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

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.

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.

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.

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!.
