Your travel host for the Palau Adventures is Eric Keibler.  Eric has led adventures for Oceanic Ventures for over thirty years and has visited Palau many times.  He is particularly excited about this trip because it heads to Peleliu and other lesser-known dive sites.

Eric's favorite travel quote, often found in our travel guides, is from Mark Twain.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Our home for this journey is the Ocean Hunter 3, a high-end liveaboard offering world-class diving, upscale cuisine, and comfortable accommodations. The upper deck has a sun deck with two Jacuzzis and garden furniture for relaxation. The salon offers a 48" wall-mounted flat-screen TV, a computer station, a library, and board games for guests to relax after a dive. The galley provides fresh gourmet food with an industrial refrigerator and freezer, while the dining room has comfortable seating and a 32" plasma TV. The spacious, efficient dive deck includes individual storage bins, ample room for Nitrox and air tanks up to 100 cubic feet, and a gas-mixing station. The wheelhouse includes 3 GPS systems, a gyro compass, an autopilot, and other safety features.

What about the food?

The Ocean Hunter’s experienced, talented chefs take pride in a diverse, delicious menu that caters to all dietary restrictions and preferences. They source only the freshest local ingredients and carefully prepare to perfection.
