Siren cruise in the Palaus Islands

A liveaboard in Indonesia is not just a vacation, but an experience that immerses you deep into the world’s most biologically diverse marine areas. From the spectacular creatures you encounter to the topography that will amaze you, liveaboard in Indonesia is an adventure that attracts divers from every corner of the world.

Spread across more than 17,500 islands in the Coral Triangle, Indonesia undoubtedly claims one of the largest underwater areas in the world. The sheer size of this archipelago makes it one of the ultimate diving destinations on the planet. When you choose diving in Indonesia, you’re opting for a smorgasbord of diving experiences that range from tranquil to adrenaline-pumping.

Indonesia is the world’s most marine biodiverse country and is home to 15% of the world’s coral reefs. In addition, over 4,000 different species of fish and invertebrates live here, many of which are only found in this region. Scientists suspect that many species have not yet been identified, making diving a journey of discovery.

Built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the 40m long Palau Siren is handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional in this region). You won’t find another liveaboard vessel this beautiful in the waters of Palau, and because it was built by divers for divers, you can be sure that every need has been thought of and taken into account.
With a maximum of 16 guests per cruise, there is plenty of space to relax. The 8 comfortable double cabins offer a choice of double or twin beds; 2 cabins are flexible double/twin cabins. All cabins are equipped with individually controlled air conditioning and private bathrooms with hot water.
The dive deck has individual storage spaces for smaller equipment and is probably one of the most spacious and comfortable you have ever seen. Separate rinse tanks are available for diving and camera equipment, and there are freshwater showers on deck. The covered outdoor dining area provides a great setting for all your meals and the spacious, air-conditioned saloon offers a cocktail bar, comfortable seating and a large flat screen television.
