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!
- 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 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.

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

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.
