Philippines liveaboard safari
Tubbataha and Southern Visayas
 Fair weather and warm water (28C/83F) awaited us on our 13-night Philippines liveaboard safari to the pristine reefs of Tubbataha and Southern Visayas! This truly exciting trip was designed as a special crossing - cruise, covering two outstanding destinations that Siren Fleet offers in the Philippines. Tubbataha spoiled us with big pelagics, healthy walls with amazing soft and hard corals and an enormous quantity of fish live! In the Southern Visayas we had a fantastic variety of colourful reef and black sand dives, offering an amazing variety of critters and reef fish.

Maldives liveaboard diving in Central Itinerary Male
 This time I left the main office in Thailand to go and see how the diving in the Maldives. I arrived a day before the guests and had time to get to know the crew. The next day our small group of guests arrived from the USA, Canada and Germany for our 10-night Central Itinerary through Ari Atoll to Laamu Atoll. This was to be an extra-special trip as we welcomed divers who are deaf and hard of hearing but also hearing divers keen to learn sign-language and have some diving fun! The first afternoon was spent relaxing aboard the S/Y Maldives Siren, once everyone had set up their dive equipment we went off for an afternoon snorkel; starting the trip well by seeing several black tip reef sharks and a variety of reef fish. In the evening Marie, our resident marine biologist, gave a fantastic presentation about the corals and reefs of the Maldives. For me this was a great introduction to diving in the Maldives and all felt well prepared for the next days of diving.

Diving Maldives Huvadhoo Atoll
 For our final “Maldives Southern” itinerary, touring around Gaafu Atoll for the 2012 season, we had a select number of ten guests join the S/Y Maldives Siren escorted by Ethan Gordon for a photography workshop. The divers hailed from the United States, South Africa, Australia and our Honeymooners Stuart and Becky from the UK, via Thailand. Once everyone was onboard, we pulled anchor and made our way east, to a deserted island, close to the centre of the atoll. There was still an hour of sunlight, so some of the guests chose to go for a quick, cooling swim and feel the powdery Maldivian sand between their toes for the first time. Everyone enjoyed the first sunset of the trip that evening.

Dive the Tubbataha with S/Y Philippine Siren
 Our 7 day cruise started on the 28th of March and we left Puerto Princessa in the afternoon on our 40m long luxurious Pinisi Schooner “Philippine Siren”. We arrived at Tubbataha National Park the following morning, and all divers were excited to get in the water, conducting our first dive at “Malayan Wreck” located at the North Atoll. Having once more a very international group of divers on board, coming from Canada, USA, Germany, Russia and the UK, everybody agreed on one thing immediately: Diving here is great! And the water was a toasty 28C! Living the Liveaboard routine (diving, eating and napping) during the day, the evenings brought time to sit together..

Philippine Siren in Tubbataha
 We left Puerto Princesa on the 21st of March for our 7 day cruise on our 40m long luxurious Pinisi Schooner “Philippine Siren”. Our crossing to Tubbataha National Park was a little bit wavey, but after arriving the following morning on time, the weather gods were with us and we had calm sea and blue sky throughout the week. Our divers came from all around the world; New Zealand, USA, Switzerland, Philippines, Germany, Australia, Belgium, Spain and UK ensuring a great mix of languages and cultures, united by the love of diving and traveling and guaranteed a trip where you never run short of stories or laughter.
