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.

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.

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.

Fantastic Crew and incredible diving ,we will be back!!!
Diving with the whale sharks and seeing thresher sharks!! The turtle and sardine dives were also fun. The reefs in general were healthy and thriving, so nice to see an environment that is still worth diving repeatedly. The crew of the Philippine Siren could not have been better they were fantastic!!!!

Finally seeing the whale sharks up close after chasing them in the last 5 years I finally had them so close. The sardine run when I unknowingly found myself alone surrounded by a ball of circling sardines.

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.
