Philippine SirenCebu  Philippine Siren The SY Philippine Siren is a 46-meter-long schooner. The ship was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi in the traditional style from iron and teak. The Philippine Siren is a larger and even more comfortable version of its sister ship, the SY Siren, which operates successfully in Thailand and Indonesia. This beautiful schooner does primarily 10 night cruises in the Visayas from/to Cebu. We have also the opportunity to book on shorter 6 night charters during the whale sharks season in Southern Leyte.
Facilities The large comfortable vessel has 8 cabins (each has a port hole) which easily accommodate 16 to 18 divers. All cabins are equipped with individually controlled air conditioning, an audio-visual entertainment system, PC monitor and a private bathroom (hot water, shower and toilet). Each of the two largest cabins has three equal-size single beds. If needed 3 people can comfortably share one of these huge cabins.
The Philippine Siren has a large air-conditioned lounge with bar, coffee machine, TV / VCR combination, PC small library and cozy sitting area. In the outer area, at the stern of the boat they have a semi-circular dining table where guests can enjoy the delicious food served in buffet style. Indulge in Asian and European cuisine; there is food plentiful food for all taste buds! There is nice shady resting area at the bow of the vessel and on the roof of the salon they have a sundeck with lounge chairs. The boat uses latest technical and electronic equipment.
Diving Diving is organized in small guided groups of 6 divers. You can also choose to dive in a buddy team only. The boat offers up to 4 dives per day with a maximum duration of 1 hour each. All dives are done from fast dive tenders. (Dive briefings can be partially conducted in German, as a German diving instructor is almost always on board.) The ship has been specially equipped for underwater photographers. Each cabin has its own PC. Charging points for cameras and batteries and a purpose-built basin to wash the camera are available.
All Siren fleet vessels have tanks that can take either DIN or Yoke regulators. Nitrox is available on board the ship and Nitrox courses are offered as well. Dive Region Dive excursions are planned according to the best times in the best areas of the Philippines. One highlight are certainly the dive cruise in the Visayas. Another highlight are the trips to Leyte early in the year, when whale sharks are almost guaranteed.
We think... Finally there is a really fantastic live aboard boat in the Philippines. We are confident that the Philippine Siren will not disappoint!
