Whilst most dive trips are suitable for divers of all levels, beginners may find some dives challenging and prefer to skip the dive. The trips vary greatly so please read through our recommendations:-

– Tubbataha
Typical diving is down by drift along reef walls. Some strong currents may occur and there are deep dives available. Recommended for divers of Advanced – Professional level.
– Southern Visayas
Recommended for all divers. An excellent place for beginners. Typically little or mild current and many sites are very shallow.

– Malapascua
Suitable for all divers, however thresher shark cleaning stations at Monad Shoal lay at (25m / 90ft) and therefore beyond beginner-level depths. Advanced diver training is recommended.

Yes. Our cruise director is a PADI dive instructor and can offer Advanced Open Water and diver speciality courses. Pre-booking is essential to ensure the instructor and necessary training materials are on board for your trip. Most of our Philippines itineraries are not suitable for entry level courses, however it may be possible on Southern Visayas trips to complete the Open Water dives portion of your course with a referral from your instructor. Pre-booking essential.

It is recommended that each buddy team dive with a SMB in order to signal to the dive tenders you are ready to surface. Some boat traffic is to be expected in busier areas however it is not necessary to drift with your SMB for the entire dive time. SMBs are provided free of charge. Reef hooks are not typically required but divers taking our Tubbataha itinerary may find them useful.

12l aluminium tanks are standard aboard Philippine Siren. We have 4 x 15l tanks available for guest use free of charge; pre-booking is recommended to ensure the tank is available for you. Each tank is suitable for both DIN and International regulators with no need for separate adapter.

Each meal is served buffet style in the rear deck dining area. Hot breakfast and eggs to cooked to order starts the day, lunches offer at least 2 choices of chicken, fish or red meat with salads and vegetable accompaniement. Evening meals consist of 3 courses:soup; entree; dessert. A choice of 2-3 entrees and a selection of side dishes are available with some evenings following a theme, to include Filipino specialities. Each trip offers a freshly prepared BBQ. Fresh fruit, snacks and cookies are available throughout the day.

A wide selection of carbonated soft drinks (coke, coke light, sprite, tonic, soda) and fruit juices are available. Guests simply help themselves to items from our fridges. Freshly brewed coffee, black and herbal teas and hot chocolate are also available free of charge. San Miguel and Red Horse lagers are provided in cans and guests may help themselves at no cost. Wines and spirits are also available and additional charges apply.

There is NO guest internet available on board. We have satellite connection for emergencies only. Mobile ‘phone Signal strength varies throughout each cruise but is typically stronger when in close proximity to major islands, such as Cebu, Negros or Palawan.

Any park fees, merchandise, services and alcoholic beverages purchased on board should be settled at the end of your cruise. All prices are in Euro, however guests may choose to pay in Euro, GBP, US$, AU$ or Philippine Peso. Credit card payments are also accepted however a fee of 3,5% will be levied to your final bill.

Tipping is a matter of personal choice and is not obligatory on any Siren Fleet yacht. However if you feel our crew have made your holiday extra special then a gratuity is always appreciated and is shared equally amongst the on board crew. An envelope will be provided at the end of your cruise should you wish to show your appreciation. We regret we are unable to accept gratuities by credit card.

No. Whilst malaria may be an issue when travelling inland or to remote islands, guests joining the Philippine Siren will not be within malarial zones. We recommend guests exercise caution and wear long clothing to minimise mosquito bites whilst in transit to the Philippine Siren.

We provide all guests with the option to use our Aqua Lung dive equipment. We offer for FREE the use of 3mm wetsuits, Aqualung Wave BCD’s, Calypso regulators and full or open heel fins with booties. If you wish to use our fins it may be worth bringing along some neoprene socks to prevent blisters / rubbing. We have a large variety of sizes to suit any guests needs. Please note your equipment requirements on the application form ahead of arrival. We have dive computers and underwater lights available for rental for a nominal daily fee.

Of course, this is not a problem. All certified Enriched Air Nitrox divers may dive on Nitrox mix of up to 32% throughout the trip and we provide this service FREE of charge. If you are not a certified user you have the option to take a short PADI course with one of our on board instructors and continue to dive on Nitrox for the duration of the cruise.

All special food requirements, whether from an allergy or simply personal preference, can be catered for by our chefs. As it is not always possible to source specific food items in remote locations, please inform our reservations team well ahead of your cruise departure date to ensure we have plenty of options to suit your needs.

Guests are always encouraged to dive at their own pace. We schedule up to 4 dives per day on each of our liveaboard itineraries, though in some areas we are able to accommodate more dives should guests wish. Safety remains a priority regarding multiple dives in a day and all guests are required to use a dive computer and to follow it conservatively. We offer Enriched Air Nitrox FREE of charge for all certified users.

For each of our dives we offer a guide to enhance your enjoyment, dive groups and buddy teams are arranged dependent on experience & diver needs. Our dive guides can often point out the small critter subjects that you might otherwise miss or assist you in finding a specific creature on your wish list. Our Cruise Directors provide a detailed briefing before every dive, allowing those with more experience the option to plan your dive with your buddy & dive independently from our guides. Our tenders remain out on standby keeping watch until the last divers have returned. So the choice is yours… its your holiday, dive it your way!

All levels of divers are welcome aboard our yachts. Whether it be complete beginners to experienced dive professionals, we will cater for your dive needs. However, for some destinations we do recommend that Open Water divers consider pursuing the Advanced Open Water course before or during the trip. This will allow the diver to increase their knowledge and experience of diving, as well as enabling the diver to get the most out of their dives. If you have not dived in some time a refresh dive in a pool to practice skills is a great way to ensure you are ready for your trip. Please review each destination itinerary and dive site descriptions to make the most informed choice but remember you do not have to make every dive that is offered! There are plenty of other activities on our liveaboards to keep you entertained, such as kayaking or massage.

The tank valves on all of our yachts are both International and DIN, and DIN regulators may be used without the need to bring an additional adapter.

Insurance is not included in your cruise price, however, please note that dive insurance is mandatory for diving activities with the Siren Fleet. Whilst incidents are seldom and can be avoided, our cruises often operate in remote locations therefore we ask all of our guests to please ensure they have adequate insurance coverage for medical evacuation and recompression treatment. Non-divers do not need to be covered for diving, however, you must be able to show that your travel insurance has adequate medical evacuation coverage. We also highly recommend each guest purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover you for non-dive related incidents, illness or travel cancellations. Siren Fleet works in partnership with DiveAssure to offer you a selection of competitively priced dive and travel insurance policies, including short term and multiple trip policies. These policies can also be purchased with a ‘Liveaboard Rider’ that covers you above and beyond standard travel insurance, for example, missing your liveaboard departure due to a missed travel connection or lost diving days due to illness of a fellow passenger. If you require insurance please ask for more information at the time of reservation and a full list of options will be emailed to you.

Worldwide Dive and Sail have what we feel is one of the most comprehensive systems in regard to the safety of both our guests and crew. Over many years we have built an Operations Manual and Ship Management System that is continually revised and updated, not only with current accepted procedures and knowledge, but also in response to any real life incidents encountered on our vessels. Our crews are also first aid trained so in the event of an incident at sea we can handle most eventualities. We have a comprehensive first aid kit, including larger equipment such as crutches and stretchers as well as oxygen and oxygen delivery kits for dealing with diving or in water related injuries. There are also now on all vessels Automated Electronic Defibrillators (AED’s) that are prominently displayed in public areas. To assist in the event that we need to use any of our first aid training and equipment we also have emergency action plans for all foreseeable eventualities. As you will see if you join one of our cruises we also carry out regular drills with our crews including; – Fire Drill – Hull Breach – Abandon Ship / Muster Stations (Lifejackets) – Man overboard – Underwater diver recall

We have a WWDAS Safety Officer whose remit is to make sure that not only do we carry relevant emergency equipment but also that staff members are trained to use it properly in the event of incidents and that they use best practices to ensure both theirs and our guests safety at all times. All incidents, no matter how big or small, on-board our vessels are reviewed and acted upon, with safety of all people on-board, both crew and guests, held as our highest priority. We feel that as a larger company we have not only vessels and staff that offer cruises of the highest standard, but also the ability to ensure we have the best equipment and training that ensures that we offer the highest standards of safety of any liveaboard vessels currently operating.

For the safety of our guests in the water, everyone is provided with a surface marker buoy and all vessels have underwater recall systems that can be deployed in case of an emergency. Our zodiacs or skiffs are always around for surface support when our divers are in the water. Our skiff drivers are trained to navigate cautiously around any diving area.

All Siren Fleet Liveaboards are rebreather friendly. We have pure oxygen filling facilities, with booster pumps, and can provide sofnolime or sorb dependent on your requirements. Unit specific tanks are NOT always available in each of our locations and where possible should be brought with you. Pre-booking is essential to ensure the correct equipment is available. All rebreather divers are required to adhere to local depth regulations, however we do allow for longer bottom time to increase your diving enjoyment.

Of course, this is not a problem. All certified Enriched Air Nitrox divers may dive on Nitrox mix of up to 32% throughout the trip and we provide this service FREE of charge. If you are not a certified user you have the option to take a short PADI course with one of our on board instructors and continue to dive on Nitrox for the duration of the cruise.

All special food requirements, whether from an allergy or simply personal preference, can be catered for by our chefs. As it is not always possible to source specific food items in remote locations, please inform our reservations team well ahead of your cruise departure date to ensure we have plenty of options to suit your needs.

Guests are always encouraged to dive at their own pace. We schedule up to 4 dives per day on each of our liveaboard itineraries, though in some areas we are able to accommodate more dives should guests wish. Safety remains a priority regarding multiple dives in a day and all guests are required to use a dive computer and to follow it conservatively. We offer Enriched Air Nitrox FREE of charge for all certified users.

For each of our dives we offer a guide to enhance your enjoyment, dive groups and buddy teams are arranged dependent on experience & diver needs. Our dive guides can often point out the small critter subjects that you might otherwise miss or assist you in finding a specific creature on your wish list. Our Cruise Directors provide a detailed briefing before every dive, allowing those with more experience the option to plan your dive with your buddy & dive independently from our guides. Our tenders remain out on standby keeping watch until the last divers have returned. So the choice is yours… its your holiday, dive it your way!

All levels of divers are welcome aboard our yachts. Whether it be complete beginners to experienced dive professionals, we will cater for your dive needs. However, for some destinations we do recommend that Open Water divers consider pursuing the Advanced Open Water course before or during the trip. This will allow the diver to increase their knowledge and experience of diving, as well as enabling the diver to get the most out of their dives. If you have not dived in some time a refresh dive in a pool to practice skills is a great way to ensure you are ready for your trip. Please review each destination itinerary and dive site descriptions to make the most informed choice but remember you do not have to make every dive that is offered! There are plenty of other activities on our liveaboards to keep you entertained, such as kayaking or massage.

The tank valves on all of our yachts are both International and DIN, and DIN regulators may be used without the need to bring an additional adapter.

Insurance is not included in your cruise price, however, please note that dive insurance is mandatory for diving activities with the Siren Fleet. Whilst incidents are seldom and can be avoided, our cruises often operate in remote locations therefore we ask all of our guests to please ensure they have adequate insurance coverage for medical evacuation and recompression treatment. Non-divers do not need to be covered for diving, however, you must be able to show that your travel insurance has adequate medical evacuation coverage. We also highly recommend each guest purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover you for non-dive related incidents, illness or travel cancellations. Siren Fleet works in partnership with DiveAssure to offer you a selection of competitively priced dive and travel insurance policies, including short term and multiple trip policies. These policies can also be purchased with a ‘Liveaboard Rider’ that covers you above and beyond standard travel insurance, for example, missing your liveaboard departure due to a missed travel connection or lost diving days due to illness of a fellow passenger. If you require insurance please ask for more information at the time of reservation and a full list of options will be emailed to you.

Worldwide Dive and Sail have what we feel is one of the most comprehensive systems in regard to the safety of both our guests and crew. Over many years we have built an Operations Manual and Ship Management System that is continually revised and updated, not only with current accepted procedures and knowledge, but also in response to any real life incidents encountered on our vessels. Our crews are also first aid trained so in the event of an incident at sea we can handle most eventualities. We have a comprehensive first aid kit, including larger equipment such as crutches and stretchers as well as oxygen and oxygen delivery kits for dealing with diving or in water related injuries. There are also now on all vessels Automated Electronic Defibrillators (AED’s) that are prominently displayed in public areas. To assist in the event that we need to use any of our first aid training and equipment we also have emergency action plans for all foreseeable eventualities. As you will see if you join one of our cruises we also carry out regular drills with our crews including; – Fire Drill – Hull Breach – Abandon Ship / Muster Stations (Lifejackets) – Man overboard – Underwater diver recall

We have a WWDAS Safety Officer whose remit is to make sure that not only do we carry relevant emergency equipment but also that staff members are trained to use it properly in the event of incidents and that they use best practices to ensure both theirs and our guests safety at all times. All incidents, no matter how big or small, on-board our vessels are reviewed and acted upon, with safety of all people on-board, both crew and guests, held as our highest priority. We feel that as a larger company we have not only vessels and staff that offer cruises of the highest standard, but also the ability to ensure we have the best equipment and training that ensures that we offer the highest standards of safety of any liveaboard vessels currently operating.

For the safety of our guests in the water, everyone is provided with a surface marker buoy and all vessels have underwater recall systems that can be deployed in case of an emergency. Our zodiacs or skiffs are always around for surface support when our divers are in the water. Our skiff drivers are trained to navigate cautiously around any diving area.

All Siren Fleet Liveaboards are rebreather friendly. We have pure oxygen filling facilities, with booster pumps, and can provide sofnolime or sorb dependent on your requirements. Unit specific tanks are NOT always available in each of our locations and where possible should be brought with you. Pre-booking is essential to ensure the correct equipment is available. All rebreather divers are required to adhere to local depth regulations, however we do allow for longer bottom time to increase your diving enjoyment.

Whilst most dive trips are suitable for divers of all levels, beginners may find some dives challenging and prefer to skip the dive. The trips vary greatly so please read through our recommendations:-

– Tubbataha
Typical diving is down by drift along reef walls. Some strong currents may occur and there are deep dives available. Recommended for divers of Advanced – Professional level.
– Southern Visayas
Recommended for all divers. An excellent place for beginners. Typically little or mild current and many sites are very shallow.

– Malapascua
Suitable for all divers, however thresher shark cleaning stations at Monad Shoal lay at (25m / 90ft) and therefore beyond beginner-level depths. Advanced diver training is recommended.

Yes. Our cruise director is a PADI dive instructor and can offer Advanced Open Water and diver speciality courses. Pre-booking is essential to ensure the instructor and necessary training materials are on board for your trip. Most of our Philippines itineraries are not suitable for entry level courses, however it may be possible on Southern Visayas trips to complete the Open Water dives portion of your course with a referral from your instructor. Pre-booking essential.

It is recommended that each buddy team dive with a SMB in order to signal to the dive tenders you are ready to surface. Some boat traffic is to be expected in busier areas however it is not necessary to drift with your SMB for the entire dive time. SMBs are provided free of charge. Reef hooks are not typically required but divers taking our Tubbataha itinerary may find them useful.

12l aluminium tanks are standard aboard Philippine Siren. We have 4 x 15l tanks available for guest use free of charge; pre-booking is recommended to ensure the tank is available for you. Each tank is suitable for both DIN and International regulators with no need for separate adapter.

Each meal is served buffet style in the rear deck dining area. Hot breakfast and eggs to cooked to order starts the day, lunches offer at least 2 choices of chicken, fish or red meat with salads and vegetable accompaniement. Evening meals consist of 3 courses:soup; entree; dessert. A choice of 2-3 entrees and a selection of side dishes are available with some evenings following a theme, to include Filipino specialities. Each trip offers a freshly prepared BBQ. Fresh fruit, snacks and cookies are available throughout the day.

A wide selection of carbonated soft drinks (coke, coke light, sprite, tonic, soda) and fruit juices are available. Guests simply help themselves to items from our fridges. Freshly brewed coffee, black and herbal teas and hot chocolate are also available free of charge. San Miguel and Red Horse lagers are provided in cans and guests may help themselves at no cost. Wines and spirits are also available and additional charges apply.

There is NO guest internet available on board. We have satellite connection for emergencies only. Mobile ‘phone Signal strength varies throughout each cruise but is typically stronger when in close proximity to major islands, such as Cebu, Negros or Palawan.

Any park fees, merchandise, services and alcoholic beverages purchased on board should be settled at the end of your cruise. All prices are in Euro, however guests may choose to pay in Euro, GBP, US$, AU$ or Philippine Peso. Credit card payments are also accepted however a fee of 3,5% will be levied to your final bill.

Tipping is a matter of personal choice and is not obligatory on any Siren Fleet yacht. However if you feel our crew have made your holiday extra special then a gratuity is always appreciated and is shared equally amongst the on board crew. An envelope will be provided at the end of your cruise should you wish to show your appreciation. We regret we are unable to accept gratuities by credit card.

No. Whilst malaria may be an issue when travelling inland or to remote islands, guests joining the Philippine Siren will not be within malarial zones. We recommend guests exercise caution and wear long clothing to minimise mosquito bites whilst in transit to the Philippine Siren.

We provide all guests with the option to use our Aqua Lung dive equipment. We offer for FREE the use of 3mm wetsuits, Aqualung Wave BCD’s, Calypso regulators and full or open heel fins with booties. If you wish to use our fins it may be worth bringing along some neoprene socks to prevent blisters / rubbing. We have a large variety of sizes to suit any guests needs. Please note your equipment requirements on the application form ahead of arrival. We have dive computers and underwater lights available for rental for a nominal daily fee.

Of course, this is not a problem. All certified Enriched Air Nitrox divers may dive on Nitrox mix of up to 32% throughout the trip and we provide this service FREE of charge. If you are not a certified user you have the option to take a short PADI course with one of our on board instructors and continue to dive on Nitrox for the duration of the cruise.

All special food requirements, whether from an allergy or simply personal preference, can be catered for by our chefs. As it is not always possible to source specific food items in remote locations, please inform our reservations team well ahead of your cruise departure date to ensure we have plenty of options to suit your needs.

Guests are always encouraged to dive at their own pace. We schedule up to 4 dives per day on each of our liveaboard itineraries, though in some areas we are able to accommodate more dives should guests wish. Safety remains a priority regarding multiple dives in a day and all guests are required to use a dive computer and to follow it conservatively. We offer Enriched Air Nitrox FREE of charge for all certified users.

For each of our dives we offer a guide to enhance your enjoyment, dive groups and buddy teams are arranged dependent on experience & diver needs. Our dive guides can often point out the small critter subjects that you might otherwise miss or assist you in finding a specific creature on your wish list. Our Cruise Directors provide a detailed briefing before every dive, allowing those with more experience the option to plan your dive with your buddy & dive independently from our guides. Our tenders remain out on standby keeping watch until the last divers have returned. So the choice is yours… its your holiday, dive it your way!

All levels of divers are welcome aboard our yachts. Whether it be complete beginners to experienced dive professionals, we will cater for your dive needs. However, for some destinations we do recommend that Open Water divers consider pursuing the Advanced Open Water course before or during the trip. This will allow the diver to increase their knowledge and experience of diving, as well as enabling the diver to get the most out of their dives. If you have not dived in some time a refresh dive in a pool to practice skills is a great way to ensure you are ready for your trip. Please review each destination itinerary and dive site descriptions to make the most informed choice but remember you do not have to make every dive that is offered! There are plenty of other activities on our liveaboards to keep you entertained, such as kayaking or massage.

The tank valves on all of our yachts are both International and DIN, and DIN regulators may be used without the need to bring an additional adapter.

Insurance is not included in your cruise price, however, please note that dive insurance is mandatory for diving activities with the Siren Fleet. Whilst incidents are seldom and can be avoided, our cruises often operate in remote locations therefore we ask all of our guests to please ensure they have adequate insurance coverage for medical evacuation and recompression treatment. Non-divers do not need to be covered for diving, however, you must be able to show that your travel insurance has adequate medical evacuation coverage. We also highly recommend each guest purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover you for non-dive related incidents, illness or travel cancellations. Siren Fleet works in partnership with DiveAssure to offer you a selection of competitively priced dive and travel insurance policies, including short term and multiple trip policies. These policies can also be purchased with a ‘Liveaboard Rider’ that covers you above and beyond standard travel insurance, for example, missing your liveaboard departure due to a missed travel connection or lost diving days due to illness of a fellow passenger. If you require insurance please ask for more information at the time of reservation and a full list of options will be emailed to you.

Worldwide Dive and Sail have what we feel is one of the most comprehensive systems in regard to the safety of both our guests and crew. Over many years we have built an Operations Manual and Ship Management System that is continually revised and updated, not only with current accepted procedures and knowledge, but also in response to any real life incidents encountered on our vessels. Our crews are also first aid trained so in the event of an incident at sea we can handle most eventualities. We have a comprehensive first aid kit, including larger equipment such as crutches and stretchers as well as oxygen and oxygen delivery kits for dealing with diving or in water related injuries. There are also now on all vessels Automated Electronic Defibrillators (AED’s) that are prominently displayed in public areas. To assist in the event that we need to use any of our first aid training and equipment we also have emergency action plans for all foreseeable eventualities. As you will see if you join one of our cruises we also carry out regular drills with our crews including; – Fire Drill – Hull Breach – Abandon Ship / Muster Stations (Lifejackets) – Man overboard – Underwater diver recall

We have a WWDAS Safety Officer whose remit is to make sure that not only do we carry relevant emergency equipment but also that staff members are trained to use it properly in the event of incidents and that they use best practices to ensure both theirs and our guests safety at all times. All incidents, no matter how big or small, on-board our vessels are reviewed and acted upon, with safety of all people on-board, both crew and guests, held as our highest priority. We feel that as a larger company we have not only vessels and staff that offer cruises of the highest standard, but also the ability to ensure we have the best equipment and training that ensures that we offer the highest standards of safety of any liveaboard vessels currently operating.

For the safety of our guests in the water, everyone is provided with a surface marker buoy and all vessels have underwater recall systems that can be deployed in case of an emergency. Our zodiacs or skiffs are always around for surface support when our divers are in the water. Our skiff drivers are trained to navigate cautiously around any diving area.

All Siren Fleet Liveaboards are rebreather friendly. We have pure oxygen filling facilities, with booster pumps, and can provide sofnolime or sorb dependent on your requirements. Unit specific tanks are NOT always available in each of our locations and where possible should be brought with you. Pre-booking is essential to ensure the correct equipment is available. All rebreather divers are required to adhere to local depth regulations, however we do allow for longer bottom time to increase your diving enjoyment.
