OVERVIEW The 34 metre S/Y Siren has been designed and built by Worldwide Dive and Sail on the island of Sulawesi. She is a traditional Indonesian ‘gaft-rigged Phinisi’ handcrafted from ironwood and teak. Thus she has been custom-made with all the luxury facilities for the modern diver. In particular, this luxury vessel has been specialized for the underwater photographer and videographer.
There is a spacious air-conditioned saloon with cocktail bar, 42 inch flatscreen & computer server supporting the inter-cabin network, a covered outdoor diving area and expansive leisure deck. |
| An onboard yacht boutique makes available to customers Worldwide Dive and Sail merchandise, including towels, hats, log books, t-shirts, shorts and lighters just to name a few items. Other special features aboard this vessel include massage service, laundry service, kayaks and other water sports equipment.
Aboard the Siren we welcome up to 16 guests aboard each trip. This ensures abundant space for all guests. However, she has the facilities and ample room to host up to 18 guests on special charters. The S/Y Siren has been designed and constructed based upon Lloyds Standards, the leading international body of maritime safety standards.

| DIVING Many of the islands in the Andaman area are surrounded by fringing reefs, really only accessible by liveaboard diving. The reefs are often several hundred metres wide and separated from the shore by a lagoon of similar width. There are also more steeply sloping reef walls & coral pinnacles or knolls. Divers can follow around the undulating hills of raven black volcanic lava, which makes for some unusual diving. There are also plenty of shallow reefs suitable for snorkeling.
Large pelagics are plentiful in these waters such as sharks, large schools of hammerheads often patrol the Andaman waters away from the reefs, Grey, Whitetip, Nurse and Leopard sharks are found closer inshore, and Silvertip and Oceanic Whitetips are sometimes glimpsed.
|
| Another feature of diving the Andaman Islands are the impressive cleaning stations where giant barracuda hover silently, waiting for their teeth to be picked. Enormous manta rays, bumphead parrotfish and napoleon wrasse are also often seen, sometimes by the dozen.
Enriched Air Nitrox is free for all certified Nitrox divers. If you are not a certified Nitrox diver, instructors can teach you the Enriched Air Specialty.
|
| PHOTO FACILITIES Specialized features for underwater photographers and videographers onboard Siren include workstations for the preparation and maintenance of cameras including prep and storage areas and large rinsing tanks with fresh water changed three times daily.
Each cabin is fitted with an individual computer and multiple power sources to facilitate the needs of digital photography. The computer features high-end specifications and 20” high-definition flatscreens, which is integrated with the yachts network server in the saloon.
