About This Vessel

Palau Siren is a boutique liveaboard cruising the Micronesia region. It hosts up to 16 divers on board.

The waters surrounding Palau, within Micronesia, support a complex marine ecosystem where nutrient-rich currents foster extensive coral growth and attract a significant array of marine life. Palau's relative isolation in the western Pacific has fostered a marine environment of significant intensity. Here, nutrient-rich currents originating from deep oceanic trenches sweep across a submerged geolo…

Dive Area & Sites

Micronesia encompasses thousands of islands scattered across the western Pacific, offering some of the most diverse and historically significant diving in the world. Truk Lagoon (Chuuk) is the undisputed wreck diving capital of the world, home to over 60 Japanese warships and aircraft from World War II, now encrusted with vibrant corals and teeming with tropical fish. Palau's rock islands harbor legendary dive sites like Blue Corner, where strong currents attract grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and massive schools of barracuda and jacks. Yap is one of the few places on earth for guaranteed encounters with resident manta rays year-round. The region's remote reefs remain in exceptional condition, with visibility often exceeding 30 meters and an extraordinary diversity of hard and soft corals supporting a rich ecosystem of reef fish.

Insurance Recommendation

We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.

Rental Gear

Complete dive equipment packages, individual items such as regulators, BCDs, masks, fins, wetsuits, dive computers, and torches are available for rent. Prices vary based on item and duration.

Booking & Travel FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on Palau Siren, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.

When do I need to pay?

A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.

What documents will I receive?

After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.

How do I get to the boat?

Most liveaboards depart from a designated marina. Many operators offer airport pickup and transfers — details are in your voucher. We recommend arriving one day before departure.

What certifications do I need?

A valid dive certification (e.g. PADI Open Water), dive insurance, and a valid passport. Some destinations require additional permits or visas — we inform you during booking.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability — contact us as soon as possible.

When no category breakdown is available for a vessel, the headline falls back to the guest-weighted average across source platforms.

The Palau Siren is generally praised for its luxurious amenities, dedicated crew, and excellent diving opportunities in Palau. While most experiences are positive, a few older reports question the boat's condition, though this sentiment is largely outweighed by newer, positive fe
