My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Great Experience in the Remote Islands of Palau. The Palau Siren and her crew did an excellent job ensuring that the experience they offered was both genuine, unique, and amazing. The dive guides did an excellent job selecting the dive sites based on the conditions and ensuring that everyone was comfortable in the water. The dive sites around the islands of Palau are very pristine and the reefs are spectacular. The crew on board the Palau Siren is clearly a very tightly knit group which I think really helped them deliver an experience for the guests which was truly unique and special.”
