S/Y Siren Liveaboard

The 34 metre S/Y Siren is a traditional Indonesian ‘gaft-rigged Phinisi’ beautifully handcrafted from ironwood and teak and has been custom-made with all the luxury facilities for the modern diver. The Siren can take 16 guests in 8 large air-conditioned cabins each with their own personal computer, audio-visual entertainment system and ensuite bathrooms with hot water. All rooms are lavished with luxury extras including bathrobes, hair dryers, towels, individually controlled mood lighting and individual controls for your air-conditioning unit.

 

There are spacious sundecks for relaxing between dives and on board facilities include a laundry service and massage service. There is a large air-conditioned saloon with cocktail bar, 42 inch flatscreen & computer server supporting the inter-cabin computer network. There are large workstations for the preparation and maintenance of cameras including prep and storage areas and large rinsing tanks with fresh water changed three times daily.

 

2 high-powered Zodiacs accompany the S/Y Siren for diving and enriched Air Nitrox is free for all certified Nitrox divers and Nitrox courses are available. Typically, four dives per day are scheduled during the cruise with optional night dives.

Bali

Bali is a beautiful island and we would certainly recommend adding a few days to your trip there. Our charter trip includes one night either side of the liveaboard at the Peneeda View Hotel, in Sanur, but if you are looking to extend your stay then speak to our team who will be glad to help you and give advice on other areas of this wonderful island.

 

We have extensive knowledge of Bali and its diverse and beautiful countryside - so if you are looking for accommodation amidst the stunning rice terraces of Ubud, or would like to go white-water rafting in the Ayung Valley, we are well-placed to help you and we will be happy to give you a quote.
