The Ocean Hunter liveaboard fleet is one big family. Unlike the larger liveaboards who change crews and captains every season, our family-run business gives you the same famous service presented by the same friendly faces since 1993. We add new discoveries year after year and are here waiting to share it with you! We are also fortunate to count among our family several local, experienced Palauan guides who have grown up on the reefs and act as ambassadors of good will between the visitors and Palauan culture and environment. Four out of five crew members aboard Ocean Hunter II have families and children and we chose them because they are very responsible and have a broad view of life.

Born and raised in Palau, Kenneth has a record of more than 10,000 dives in Palau over the past 20 years. His knowledge of the reefs, currents, fish life and Palauan customs is stunning. Yet he continues to be the friendly guy he has always been, eager to share his knowledge and stories with you. His favourite reef is the entire Ngemelis reef and his favourite fish is a small one, the harlequin ghost pipefish.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Eddie used to work as a bookkeeper but changed his profession when he discovered the beautiful aquatic world. He worked in Puerto Galera, Philippines for 9 years and then came to Palau in 2003. His favourite reefs in Palau are Buoy 6, Ulong & German Channel. His favourite fish are any rays or sharks, especially the big ones.

He joined Ocean Hunter I in 1999 and Ocean Hunter II in 2005. Divers love him, he has a million-dollar smile and is always eager to please you. Thanks to Tova’s training, Arlee specializes in a very healthy cuisine incorporating the freshest ingredients to produce a memorable bill of fare with great diversity. At the end of your trip you'll agree that he is the best liveaboard Chef in the world.

Born in Cebu, Philippines, Richard came to Palau in 2002. He is a good-natured young guy always ready to attend to the slightest need that might arise. His task is basically to make sure the ship is prepared for anything, in true Ocean Hunter fashion. And that's exactly what he manages to do.
