Operated by Master Liveaboards. 17 guests in 8 cabins, 40 metres.
A wooden phinisi built to the Siren specification, working a compact set of world-class sites — Blue Corner, German Channel, Ulong. Short runs between dives means more time in the water and less time steaming.
The operator expects around 50 logged dives, and the sites on this itinerary run current. If you are newer than that, tell us. There is almost always a better boat for your first week, and we would rather send you there.
Sailing dates
No departures listed for this boat yet. Ask us and we will get the operator's schedule.
The boat itself
Cabin layouts, deck plans and equipment lists come from the operator and we send them with every quote. If a specific cabin matters to you, ask before you book.
The fine print, up front
This is the industry norm rather than a promise from any one boat. We confirm the exact inclusions in writing with the operator before you pay anything.
Before you commit
This is the part booking engines leave out, and it is where a week gets a thousand dollars pricier than the headline. None of it is a surprise if you know it going in.
Paid on board, almost always in cash, and rarely small. Palau charges these per diver per trip. We tell you the current figure before you book.
Available on this boat. Sometimes bundled, sometimes charged per week. Worth taking on a multi-dive-per-day itinerary.
Regulator, BCD, computer and torches are usually extra. Bringing your own is cheaper on any trip longer than a week, and you dive better in kit you know.
Customary across the industry and not included anywhere. Budget somewhere between five and ten percent of the trip price, in cash.
We do not sell flights, by design. Always plan at least one night on land before boarding: a delayed bag or a missed connection should not cost you the trip.
Many operators require proof of cover to let you board. Get a policy with chamber treatment, evacuation and supplier insolvency. We will point you at one that has all three.
