Launched in 2012, the 40m Palau Siren liveaboard was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and is handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional to the area). You will find no other diving liveaboard as beautiful in Palau waters and, being built by divers for divers, you can be rest assured that every need has been thought of and addressed.

Welcoming a maximum of 16 guests per cruise ensures that there is ample space to relax. The 8 comfortable, double occupancy cabins offer a choice of double or twin beds; 2 cabins are flexible double/twin. All cabins have individually controlled air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms with hot water.

The dive deck has individual personal storage for your smaller equipment items and is most likely be one of the most spacious and comfortable you will have come across. Separate rinse tanks are provided for scuba and camera equipment as well as fresh water 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 TV.

The saloon also has designated areas for charging and preparation of your camera and video equipment making the Palau Siren liveaboard a top choice for underwater photographers and videographers.

Palau Siren also benefits from 2 shaded, high-bottom, fibreglass skiffs, nitrox compressor, equipment rental, kayaks, laundry and massage services.

Palau Siren, January 2026
The crew was wonderful, the boat was clean and well-maintained, and the diving was absolutely breathtaking. ​The dive guides were excellent and prioritized safety while ensuring every guest had a great experience. I especially loved the guide rotation system; it’s a great idea that gives you the chance to dive with different guides and gain different perspectives. Our skiff drivers were also top-notch, making our entries and exits seamless. ​The food was fresh, delicious, and varied, with something new to try every day. The Cruise Director did a fantastic job leading his team to ensure we had the best possible experience. Thank you to the entire Palau Siren crew!!

Palau Siren, September 2025
Pedro and his team were simply amazing - tending to every need our request without hesitation. Their hospitality cannot be overstated and their desire to see each guest taken care of matches their generous attitudes. The food was incredible and quite plentiful. The schedule was appropriately busy with time in between to recharge and no opportunities to dive were lost. I cannot give a higher rating and look forward to another trip! Thank you Palau Siren!

I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was top-notch! The Crew: Incredibly professional, friendly, and dedicated to making sure every detail was taken care of. The Boat: Very beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained. The cabins were spacious and the common areas were very comfy and perfect for relaxing between dives. The Diving: I truly enjoyed every dives, especially for the dives at Ulong channel, German channel and blue corner. This was truly a dream trip, and I cannot recommend Palau Siren enough. This is the way to go if you’re looking for the combination of amazing views, top-tier service, and world-class diving. Thank you for the incredible memories!

Palau Siren, April 2025 - New Moon Spawning
This was our 2nd Master Liveaboard trip, so expectations were high! Crew: The crew and dive staff were top notch - they do everything to help you, feel at home. Food: Delicious! Loved it. Diving: Really enjoyed every dive, the variety, the dive sites. Everything was so good. Our highlights were: the bumphead parrot spawning dives, the hook dives with loads of jacks & sharks & beautiful coral reef dives (german channel) with loads of groupers and last but least loads of turtles. Rooms: Very spacious and top notch. Safety: One of the best safety protocols I've seen on many live-aboards. In short - can only recommend to dive with this company !

Palau Siren, January 2025
Excellent trip with one of the nicest crew I have sailed and dived with. Safety consciousness as well as hospitality was top notch. Kudos to the incredible dive team. Thorough briefings and unrushed dives. Especial shout out to Ann and Evo who are super sweet, they remember every guests name and welcome everyone back after each dive Ann is an amazing massage therapist to boot. The best hostess I have seen on any liveaboard.
Great time on Palau Siren

Palau Siren, December 2024
The cabins were some of the largest I've seen on a liveaboard, and the beds were very comfortable. The food was excellent and featured a large variety. In particular, hosts Evo and Ann went above and beyond to make the guests feel at home. The diving was great, and there was a nice variety between hook-in dives, reefs, a wreck, and the caves. The skiff that took us to the dive sites was comfortable and spacious (an actual boat rather than an inflatable.) Overall, I would recommend this trip!
