Ocean Hunter 3 - specs

Food
Ocean Hunter owner and reknowned chef and cookery writer Tova Har-El has developed our delicious gourmet menu.
She has not only had extensive experience as a chef, but specifically as a liveaboard chef!
She cooked on the first Palau liveaboard for more than a year and went out on the Ocean Hunter for the first six months in Palau, closely analyzing the tastes of hungry divers after exiting the water and learning to cater to their every taste whim.
As a dedicated diver herself who knows the importance of low-fat, fiber rich meals, Tova designed our menu with international cuisines such as Palauan, Italian, Mediterranean, French and Japanese (with fresh sashimi and sushi), and with a bit of her own style as well. She has worked extensively with our cook Arlee. Below is a sample timetable for the food that Arlee will woo you with on a typical Ocean Hunter day.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are in abundance and will be served with every meal. We will gladly cater to vegetarian or any other dietary request. Snacks will be served in between meals.

Sample food menu
6:00 AM: Gourmet coffee and tea are served with fresh sweet rolls and cakes.
08:00 AM: After the first dive of the day, we serve a full breakfast.
12:30 PM: After the third dive of the day, it’s time for a buffet lunch.
Afternoon: Daily fresh fruit smoothies will be served (papaya, pineapple, soursop, and many other local exotic fruits).
7:30 PM: On a white tablecloth with chinaware, dinner will be served after the night dive, with a different gourmet soup every night to warm you up, followed by fresh salad and the international dinner of the day. Dinner can be served before the night dive if preferred.

Ocean Hunter III will be heading out on some very exciting trips, so we needed to make sure she was fully kitted out for safe long-range, open water sailing.
With that in mind we’ve equipped the bridge to American Bureau of Shipping specifications - with 3 separate GPS systems, gyro compass and autopilot, multiple radios, vertical and 3D bottom scanners and a satellite phone.

Sun Deck
As always on the Ocean Hunter fleet we’ve given you as much room to relax in as we can. The Sun Deck on Ocean Hunter III is very spacious indeed, with ample loungers, chairs and tables for you to while away the lazy hours between dives. Or enjoy yourself in our two heated jacuzzis!

Main Deck
Salon
After your last dive of the day what better place to relax than in our luxurious salon.
There are 4 large sofas to sit back on while watching a DVD on the 48" wallmounted flatscreen TV.
A computer station has a high-spec machine ready for you to burn your photos and videos to disc.
Alternatively take it easy with a book from our library, or by playing board games until it’s time for bed.

Galley
A large, hygenic galley that produces a never-ending flow of fresh gourmet food.
Industrial refrigerator and freezer units keep food fresh until needed, even on a long trip. Enough storage space that we never have to run out of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Dining room
The beautiful wood finish to the interior means the dining and living area on Ocean Hunter III is a warm and homely area to relax in.
4 separate tables allow all our guests to eat together without inconvenience, on very comfortable padded seating.
Also in the dining area you will find an icemaker, coffee machine 32" plasma tv and minibar / refrigerator.

Gear room
Lots of room for everyone here. This semi-dry area has ample storage space for each individual diver, along with 415/220/110V outlets for charging cameras and batteries

Dive Deck
Designed by divers for divers, Ocean Hunter III’s dive deck is both spacious and efficient.
It boasts individual storage bins, plenty of room for Nitrox and air tanks up to 100 cubic feet (15 litres) and a filling station that can provide gas mixing for Trimix, Nitrox and blends up to 100% oxygen.
Plus enough room for you to move around in comfort at both the start and end of your dives.
