Diving Palau by liveaboard brings you to the far flung dive sites along with some of the most renowned sites of this tiny island chain.
Palau Siren was constructed, like her sister ships, by the Worldwide Dive and Sail’s team of master yacht builders in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
All the small touches and comfort of the Siren Fleet liveaboard yachts have been included, coupled with new design features and interior decoration to reflect the style of the Palauans.
Enriched Air Nitrox is available for all certified Nirox divers. If you are not a certified Nitrox diver all our instructors can certainly teach you the Enriched Air Diver Specialty during your liveaboard trip.

Diving in Palau affords the avid diver the opportunity to explore the nation’s varied and spectacular dive sites.
Laying between the Philippine Sea and northern Pacific Ocean, these limestone islands surrounded by crystal clear cobalt blue water are home to a dazzling array of marine life.
Divers travelling to Palau can expect to see a variety of reef sharks, huge schools of jacks and barracuda, manta and eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse and batfish coupled with many critters and impressive corals.
Drift dives are the norm and there are plenty of wrecks to visit and of course no liveaboard dive safari would be complete without a visit to the now-famous “Jelly Fish Lake”.

Palau Siren cruises between wrecks and caves in Malakal Harbour, Ulong Island, German Channel, Ngemelis Island and Peleliu Island before returning to Koror.
The itineraries provide a mix of wreck diving, drift diving and night dives.
Reef sharks can be seen in abundance, along with manta rays, stunning coral reefs and huge sea fann and a variety of smaller creatures can also be seen during our liveaboard diving trips.

Palau Siren - itineraries

The pick up time for embarkation in Palau is between 16:30 and 17:00. Due to restocking and bunkering, early embarkation is not possible.
Generally, guests tend to depart on a late evening flight on the day of disembarkation; therefore, you are able to schedule 3 dives on your final dive day.
To remain on the safe side, we kindly request for you to check your own flight times and ensure that you leave a minimum of 18-24 hours between your final dive and your flight home.
Guests are welcome to suggest preferred dive sites to the Cruise Director and he/she will be happy to accommodate your wishes, providing it is possible and the schedule allows for it.
