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. Many of the crew members aboard Ocean Hunter III 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, the last 14 of which have been spent with Ocean Hunter. 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.

Gaby was born in Cebu, Philippines amid a family of divers. His father was one of the first divers in the Philippines in the early 50s. Gaby has got a great collection of photos of his father diving in 1953 when a rope for a weight belt was one of the early days inventions. Recruited to Ocean Hunter II in 2003 and Fish 'n Fins in 2006, Gaby is a gentleman with a peaceful nature. Our guests all find him to be a great dive guide and delightful after-dive company. His favourite reef in Palau is Ulong Channel.

Adam is an Englishman who is very highly qualified, being a PADI Master Instructor, a DSAT Trimix Instructor, a TDI Instructor and an IART rebreather Instructor! He has worked in a variety of destinations around the world, including the UK, Malta, Honduras and Bermuda. He enjoys diving anywhere deep and dark, and loves to see mantas

He joined the Ocean Hunter fleet in 1999. 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 there is.

A former Olympic sprinter (no kidding!), Silas spent 5 years working for our sister shop Fish 'n Fins before joining the Ocean Hunter crew. He knows the entire reef system of Palau like the back of his hand and loves to go exploring. His favourite dive is Ulong Channel, and his favourite fish is a bumphead parrotfish, with mayo.

Kenneth's brother Malsol is another who joined us from Fish 'n Fins. A big kid at heart, Malsol loves to catch Wahoo, by day or by night. His favourite divesite in Palau is Blue Corner, especially when the current is rocking and rolling!

Roy joined us in 2005. As deckhand he works all over Ocean Hunter III, helping with anything that needs doing and generally ensuring the boat remains spick and span, just the way you like it!

Always smiling, Antonio works alongside Roy, so you might see him painting one day and in the engine room the next - whatever needs doing, the boys get it done!!
