Hands-down, best liveaboard you could experience.
This has been the best liveaboard I've had the pleasure of being on in terms of crew, boat layout, purpose and comfort. The way the crew run the ship is just phenomenal, everything you can think of is available for you as a diver, photographer and more. Highly recommend.

Very friendly and competent crew, attentive, helpful and friendly. The chef with his evening presentation of the menu is already worth a trip. I booked a personal dive guide "Franzis" he was worth every single dollar, without exaggeration "best dive guide ever" and I have been diving over 40 years, five stars are not enough.After each dive you will find a bath towel in the drawer on the dive deck.Absolutely recommended. Thank you very much

Amazing liveaboard
This liveaboard was amazing! Jo (cruise director) and her crew made the trip so memorable by going above and beyond. It was all smiles and any minor issues were handled efficiently and effectively. Jordan was an amazing dive guide and my dive group saw so many frogfish. Breakfast was amazing with made to order eggs. The chef even tried to make hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict. The lunch and dinners were great, and the chilli "chop, chop, chop!" Those that have been on the boat will understand that phrase. For the sake of griping, I'd only suggest that the liveaboard stocks separate shampoo and body soap in the cabin ensuite. I cannot recommend this boat enough. You won't regret going on this liveaboard.

It was the right moment to disagree the Rolling Stonesbecause we have got the satisfacton!
1. Jan van Beelen, because everytime he was gentle, smart and keep on smiling. 2. The dive with a swarm of thousands of sardines in Panagsama. 3. And for my wife, to stay with the walesharks in Oslob; for me it was it little bit like an aquarium.

Excellent cruise in the Visayas/Malapascua. Our initial itinerary had to be adjusted because of the weather conditions (typhoon), but all the dive sites visited were superb, the wildlife and corals beautiful, the guides super friendly, all the staff on the boat taking care of us from start to finish. The food was excellent and very varied, at every meal. The boat is simple but very nice and functional, the cabins are very clean and comfortable. Superb cruise!

Amazing boat and crew!
Such a beautiful and well taken care of boat. And of course the crew will make every minute just perfect. The diving was great as well, but I guess that would be pretty much the same no matter which boat. The big difference is how the crew just does everything in their power to make our vacation the best possible.

World-Class Diving with the Best Crew in Philippines
We joined the Philippines Siren from 17–27 December, diving at Southern Leyte, Malapascua, and the Visayas, and it was an absolutely fantastic trip. The crew were incredible — always smiling, super helpful, and the boat was spotless the entire time. Huge thanks to Maureen for taken good care of us throughout the trip and always there when we needed her. And special praise to Chefs — the food was absolutely delicious, always fresh, tasty, and plentiful, perfect after long dive days! HATS UP!! A huge shout-out to the dive guides; Jordan, Francis, and Donato. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also funny and great personalities, which made every dive even more enjoyable and xtraordinary. Lastly special thanks as to Jo, the Cruise Director, for her great energy, deep knowledge of the reefs and dive sites, and for keeping everything running so smoothly for entire trip. Last but not least thanks to entire crew who made us feel celebrating Christmas at home. That was beyond what one could ever imagine! Can't recommend more this fantastic crew. We'll definetely see each other again soon in Tubbataha..

Great first dive trip to the Philippines
The crew was amazing! Jo (Cruise Director) did an excellent job of keeping us updated when a storm was headed our way. The Thresher Sharks at Malapascua were so beautiful. We were lucky to see them on both of our dives there. The coral and sponges were colorful and the fish were plentiful. We saw several different/new fish on every dive. The muck dive on our last night dive was incredible. I would recommend this boat and itinerary to anyone.

I would definitely dive the Philippines again, but try another charter.
I wish the food had a little bit more variety in how it was prepared. Beef, chicken, fish was always prepared the same. Vegetables were always the same. The dive guides were knowledgeable of finding marine life. Diving in the Philippines was one of the best diving experiences I have ever had.

Stunning Underwater Creatures Everywhere You Looked
It was an excellent trip! So many nudis that I'd never seen. The whaleshark dive at Lila was worth the added fee. The thresher shark dive was amazing. Try to go EARLY in the day before the day trip boats arrive. Serious appreciation for the dive guides ability to spot Shaun the Sheep and pygmy seahorses! Sometimes even with them pointing the nudi out I still wasn't sure what I was looking at. But the spotter board definitely helped id the creatures. Dive guide dressing up as Santa for the Christmas morning dive was really fun and our group all wore Santa hats for the dive. I'll be reviewing my photos and videos for a long, long time. The crew was great at helping with gear and hot towels. The food in general was very good (chili chop chop chop and Philippine STEAM RICE #IYKYK), but over 10 days did get a bit repetitive.
