The boat is a small boat, but they are totally geared to the underwater
photographer. There base staff is very proffesional and helpful with some
of there staff having worked with numerous trips with National Geographic
on the boat. I called ahead and told the owner Tova that my camera was
jammed. She was able to have someone meet me within a half hour. This
gentleman took my camera away and had it back to me the next day with my
film in tact

My wife and I and two other couples that are our close friends were able to
book the Ocean Hunter for one week. I have to say this was absolutely one
of the best trips we have ever been on. From the incredible high octane
diving to our superb hosts. This trip exceeded all our expectations. Having
booked this trip many months before and it being so far away, we were
justifiably anxious as to what to expect. Our crew and the ownners of the
boat could not have been more hospitable. Even though the boat was smaller
than most, no attention to detail was spared. From our warm showers and
warm towels after every dive, to the great meals and snacks that came from
the galley. They were even able to prepare a great birthday cake for my
wife. The ability to have this boat with just my close friends and be able
to get into dive sites where the larger boats neede to shuttle ther people
into was just fantastic. The diving itself was superb, we all saw many
species of fish we had never seen before. Each dive was exciting with the
discovery of new species of fish to the adrenaline filled shark action to
the many dancing Mantas in "German Channel"
