Description

Join Abyss Scuba aboard luxurious SY Palau Siren for an week of underwater exploration, unforgettable bio-diversity and pampering in Palau. 

Many who have dived in Palau often describe the diving there with superlatives. Most dive sites are world-class and unique, with memorable underwater features like blue holes, drop-offs, caverns, caves and channels. If you like large sea creatures, the SY Palau Siren gets you close to the action around the congregating pelagics at the cleaning station.

Visibility often seems endless and can go up to 60m on good days, though for wreck dives nearer to Koror, visibility can reach lows of around 5-10m. Palau is a year-round diving destination but tends to rain frequently from July till October. Water temperature is usually warm at a range of 27-30°C.  

Dive Safari Adventurers aboard SY Palau Siren will experience Palau diving at its finest while being pampered in luxury and comfort. Located just southeast of the Philippines, Palau is known for healthy and vibrant reefs and walls flourishing with current-rich upwellings. Palau lies where three of the World's major currents meet, creating a giant influx of menu items for hungry marine creatures. 

The ship forms part of the Worldwide Dive and Sail fleet, built by master shipbuilders in Sulawesi, Indonesia and combines modern amenities with traditional Palauan interior design. With an extremely-spacious dive deck and two high-powered dive tenders, you can look forward to comfortable, stress-free diving and easy access to the best dive sites.

Divers who like diversity will appreciate a trip on-board this liveaboard, which as well as large marine life offers access to some stunning WWII wrecks, with a re-breather-friendly crew offering support to certified divers.
