At the center of the voyage in Below Deck Down Under Season 3 is Captain Jason Chambers leading the charge.
Chambers, who hails from Gosford, Australia, has 24 years of experience in the yachting industry. In his exclusive profile from Bravo TV, he described the new season as "dramatic, wet, [and] emotional."
As his crew ventures into uncharted waters in Seychelles, Chambers told TV Insider that it is an opportunity to explore "so many marine conservation zones" around the area:
"To actually go to such a remote location like the Seychelles, I couldn’t think of anything better. For me, it was a bucket list thing. I love diving. I’m an avid diver. There are so many marine conservation zones around the Seychelles, it’s fantastic. There are 115 islands there, and they are so close to each other. We got to go to quite a few islands."
Aside from the brand-new location of Season 3, the fan-favorite captain is also excited about driving a huge vessel like Katina, noting that there is "a lot of uniqueness about it:"
"I’ve driven a lot bigger vessels than that, but this boat has a lot of uniqueness about it. It’s a big boat, has a shallow draft, and moves around in the wind a lot. It was hard to maneuver. It had a lot of entertainment space too. For the size of the boat, the interior was probably a lot bigger than it should be. The interior crew had a hell of a lot of work to do."

In Season 2, she struggled to adjust to her newfound working situation due to the nature of being involved in a reality series where cameras are filming everything.
She almost quit due to the pressure, and she even clashed with some of her peers like Captain Jesse Chambers. Still, the pair eventually found a way to work together.
With a new season ahead, Tzarina is expected to face some new challenges in the workplace, considering she and the crew are inside a larger vessel.

In the same interview with TV Insider, Captain Jesse Chambers has nothing but praise for Harry ahead of Season 3, describing him as someone with "a good character and good to have on board:"
"Harry is fun. He is vibrant and from Australia, so I have a heartstrings for him there. He does step up. He did grow a bit of hair on his chin this year, so I saw some growth. He is a good character and good to have on board. I know I have his loyalty, so that’s good for me. We will see some progress. The audience will see him grow."
