Philippine Siren Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Philippine Siren Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

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 and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. 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, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

*How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the Philippine Siren Liveaboard: 63%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Philippine Siren liveaboard works by taking the six individual SDE Liveaboard Rating scores, with each one being scored out of 10 and then adding them together.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Stunning Underwater Creatures Everywhere You Looked. It was an excellent trip! So many nudis that I'd never seen. The whaleshark dive at Lila was worth the added fee. The thresher shark dive was amazing. Try to go EARLY in the day before the day trip boats arrive. Serious appreciation for the dive guides ability to spot Shaun the Sheep and pygmy seahorses! Sometimes even with them pointing the nudi out I still wasn't sure what I was looking at. But the spotter board definitely helped id the creatures. Dive guide dressing up as Santa for the Christmas morning dive was really fun and our group all wore Santa hats for the dive. I'll be reviewing my photos and videos for a long, long time. The crew was great at helping with gear and hot towels. The food in general was very good (chili chop chop chop and Philippine STEAM RICE #IYKYK), but over 10 days did get a bit repetitive.”

Recommended for: Excellent dive guides. Healthy reefs. Thresher sharks.
