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!

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.

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.

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 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.
