S/Y Philippine Siren

S/Y Philippine Siren - Philippines Liveaboards - Dive Discovery Philippines

Boat Description :
The 40 metre S/Y Philippine Siren has been designed and built using the lessons learnt from our previous sailing yachts. Our biggest boat to date, we have been able to make all cabins larger than even those found on the S/Y Siren. We offer more flexibility on whether cabins can be used as twins or double bedded rooms. The dining area is now even more spacious offering a great setting for all your meals. The dive deck has more space and we have improved the facilities for underwater photographers and videographers. With designated areas for charging and preparation of your camera and video equipment, the S/Y Philippine Siren truly sets out to be the pros choice. Built on the Indonesian Island of Sulawesi, she is a traditional "gaft rigged Phinisi" handcrafted from ironwood and teak. You will find no other dive liveaboard as beautiful in Philippine waters, and being that she was built by divers for divers and not adapted from being a second hand research vessel, the choice is clear. Aboard the S/Y Philippine Siren we welcome up to 16 guests on each trip. This ensures abundant space for all divers.
