                                                    Ocean Hunter owner and renowned chef and cookery writer Tova Har-el has developed a delicious gourmet menu. She has not only had extensive experience as a chef, but specifically as a liveaboard chef! As a dedicated diver herself who knows the importance of low-fat, fiber-rich meals, Tova designed the 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. Ocean Hunter III also offers a full bar and refrigerator of drinks for guests. Mineral water is always free, however, we must charge $1.50 for soft drinks and $3.00 for beer.
