The Palau Island archipelago consists of about 300 scenic islands and features world-class diving, a colorful history, and a fascinating natural environment. Palau is rated as one of the world's best diving destinations by scuba aficionados, with its unspoiled reefs, caves, walls, and wrecks teeming with the most amazing array of marine life. Every site is unique and rewarding – from reef sharks and manta rays to microscopic nudibranchs and colorful clams. Palau truly has it all! And don't miss Jellyfish Lake, a truly wondrous experience as you swim through the multitude of virtually non-stinging jellyfish. Topside, you’ll find gorgeous white sand beaches, forests, waterfalls, caves, the lush Rock Islands dotting the nearby waters, and a lovely island culture.

Ocean Hunter III is a beautiful 96-foot vessel designed by divers, for divers. Ocean Hunter III dives the reefs of Palau, plus special trips to places such as Yap, with the knowledge and hospitality of a very experienced local crew. The vessel features 8 cabins for up to 16 guests in 3 standard cabins, 3 deluxe cabins and 2 master staterooms, all with private bath and A/C, plus personal attention and plenty of space. There is a large dining room, where chefs serve fresh, low-fat gourmet cuisine, and a comfortable salon with sofas and an entertainment system. The salon also contains a high quality espresso machine. Alternatively you can relax in the jacuzzis on the spacious sun deck. Furthermore, Ocean Hunter III is designed for professional underwater photography, TV and Film production, with a sizeable working area, 110, 220 and 415 volt electrical outlets and extra storage space. Ocean Hunter III offers powerful PC’s for movie and video editing with download, email and CD burning services. The operation is technical diving friendly, and offers extensive production support.

There is more to Palau than just diving! If you want to extend your time in Palau, we can add a resort extension so you can relax on the beach, take a guided kayak excursion through the stunning Rock Islands, venture out on a land tour to the sights and history of the 'Big Island', Babeldaob, or even head out on a fishing trip. It’s your vacation, so do as much or as little as you like!
