I really enjoyed this trip and was thrilled with the quality of accommodation, service on board and diving. Many of my group are regular on trip with me and have done so of the best diving around the world, and many were rating our itinerary in Komodo. As high as any we have done. I was particularly impressed by the variety of diving with excellent encounters with sharks (6species) and ray (manta, mobula, eagle) mixed up with quality critter and reef divers. The crews were friendly and hard working and I look forwarded to seeing them again when I return.

The staff was absolutely beyond excellent – Every single one of them. Our dive gear was always prepared perfectly. The boy helped us on/off dinghy – in/out of wetsuits – can’t say enough good thing about how attentive they were, how they pampered us.

The chef, the dive staff, the waiter, the cleaning crew, the captain, the engineer and the dive master, especially Eva and Dan were all gracious, caring hosts and we couldn’t have been treated and better with more care.

Eva was professional, knowledgeable and always accommodating, always enthusiastic, high energy, competent – definitely ‘solution oriented’, always accommodating – always ‘checking in’ to see if anyone needed anything – she is a great ‘good will ambassador’ and you are lucky to have her. My heart is filled with gratitude for all!!!!

Eva was an excellent dive guide! I would like to go diving with her again somewhere.

The crew was fabulous, especially Diedre our cruise director, dive guide etc. Everything was well organized thorough and the dive reports add a personal touch to the trip. Chef Andre’s food is the best!

Thank you Deidre for the most amazing and unbelievable experience this past week. I have been beyond spoilt!! Your passion and your enthusiasm for your job and the ocean is simply inspiring. I have had the time of my life here swimming in a live fish tank and I will never forget it. The staffs have been EXCELLENT and I have been highly impressed by their efficiency and big hearts. Thank you Mandarin Siren for the most enjoyable and breath taking trip ever

Thank you Diedre and crew for spoiling us rotten and going the extra mile to make our trip comfortable and memorable. Loved every second.

We have just returned from a wonderful trip with World Wide Dive and Sail on the Indo Siren to Komodo, from August 30th to September 9th 2011. This was our second experience of diving with you. We had previously enjoyed diving with you 2 years ago, in Thailand. On booking our second holiday, we never thought our first trip could ever be bettered, but it was. It is rare that a holiday exceeds expectations, but this one did. This was due to our absolutely amazing Cruise Director, Eva. Her professionalism, hard work, knowledge and overall caring made our holiday. She could not do enough. It was a complete pleasure to be aboard. The dive sites were incredible and as a guide too Eva got it so right. The crew on the dive deck, the 2 dingy operators, the chefs and the 2 girls who looked after our cabin and got us the towels and drinks were all a pleasure and made the experience of living on a liveaboard such a pleasure. We enjoyed it so much that even though we have already booked to go with you to the Maldives in August 2012 (and can’t wait) we are looking to see if there are any vacancies on any trips with Eva as Cruise Director in the next few months. If anyone is thinking about a dive holiday, then look no further and book with World Wide Dive and Sail...we certainly will. Please pass on our thanks to Eva and thank you again for a wonderful dive holiday. Christine Edwards and Jane Davies, Birmingham, England.

To the crew of Philippine Siren... my sincerest thanks for making the trip memorable.  Aside from being so accomodating, the crew simply goes to great lengths to ensure that your on board experience is second to none.

Excellent cuisine, super friendly staff coupled with clean, well-maintained and spacious facilities.  The dive deck is the best I've come across.  Nitrox is free to those certified, and snacks/sodas/beer are inclusive.

I totally recommend diving with them... in the words of Chef Jimmy, "... what are you waiting for?"

It was a really thrilling experience! crew, dives, boat were great - Everybody was so kind and caring for us. Thanks a lost for this excellent work! Hope to do another cruise with this company.

I was involved in the organisation process and I have to say that Don & Paula were absolutely wonderful. Planning a trip for 16 people is definitely not easy but Don & Paula made the planning process easy, were prompt & accommodating in their responses & helped with all the small details that I missed. There were no hiccups during the whole trip, everything flowed easily  which is rare for such a large trip - kudos to them.

Chris & the crew of the (Philippine) Siren were excellent aswell. Very accommodating, very friendly & very good at adapting to our group which consisted of divers of all levels. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, saw many things we haven't seen before, ate delicious meals and relaxed in the sun with our closest friends. We couldn't have asked for a better trip.

Thank you for the memories

This boat is definitely the most well designed and spacious boat I have been on. very comfortable cabins & well designed dive deck and the dining area outside just begs for social activity among passengers and crew.

A lovely crew, boat & all round trip that was thoroughly enjoyed

the crew is totally amazing - incredibly well trained efficient helpful & friendly. Hard to believe its only their second cruise together.

Gorgeous boat, gorgeous diving. Frank is the best! thank you

I was really impressed with this trip. A very roomy comfortable boat with staff and crew who were nothing but helpful and courteous. Whilst it was low seasons and we had to partially reroute to escape from the fringing effects of an ulgy typhoon, it did not mar our diving in any way. I will definately consider using WWDS again. A big + is the inclusive equipment, nitrox and beers. A Specal thanks to Chris and Andrea for leading the trip with such firendliness and good humour. 

Looking forward to joining you soon again!!!

All my compliments to the staff, specially to Deidre and the small number of guest made the trip to be ‘Exclusive’

Being a novice diver I was very reassured + felt very comfortable with Diedre. She made the trip for me with a great sense of humor and so super organized. Thanks diedre!!!

Thank you for making our getaway great. The crew made us feel like family. Deidre - you are the best

Our divemaster Jay was excellent. Very patient and helpful. Jay showed us alot of wonderful fish and let us dive at our own pace.

Overall a most enjoyable experience

Warm regards Susie,

We are recovering from jet lag and a wonderful trip. We truly enjoyed our month in the Philippines. Don Dunlop did an incredible job booking our trip. Every resort was a cut above the last, the transportation went smoothly right on time and the Philippine Siren was lots of fun. We must thank you, Don, Mark, Thomas ( for the recommendation) and everyone else involved in making our trip such a beautifully fantastic dive trip and introduction to the Philippines.

As for the Philippine Siren, the boat is well maintained and very well serviced. The crew was/ is fantastic, so helpful, caring and right there to help, if needed. The dive masters helpful, safe, fun, and great eyes. Kathy & Maureen were great and wonderful massages. The two chefs were so fun and the food was delicious. Judith is a handicapped diver and the skiff captain was on top it and worked out the timing and water entrance time. He was great, always helpful for all the divers and especially for Judith.

Again Susie, a BIG THANKS to World Wide Dive and Sail for a awesome introduction to the Philippines. We loved it and look forward to work with you guys again, soon.
