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.

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

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.

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!
- Recommended for
- 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!.

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.

Palau delivered
It was a really nice trip. The food is great and the crew in general too. We had some great diving on top dive sites. It’s a bit sad, that the boat doesn’t travel around a lot and we stayed most of the time at german channel. That makes the trips with the speed boat longer and the breaks shorter. There could have been a dive guide more and sometimes more groups would be nice. But overall Palau delivered what I expected.

- Top notch dive sites. 5 dives a day. Great food.
