Palau
Stunning drop-offs, sharks, manta, world war two wrecks. Palau really has it all.
Liveaboard diving in Palau is considered one of the most spectacular diving experience destinations on earth. The country has over 60 amazing dive sites to experience. The great variety of dive sites and seascapes combined with the fantastic marine life are key factors in Palau being near the top of many divers' wish lists. Blue Corner, German Channel, Peleliu Wall, and Big Drop-Off are just a few of the most famous dive sites.
Channel currents attract big pelagics, such as mantas and all kinds of sharks and schooling fish. In addition, there are famous wrecks from World War II along with all kinds of spectacular reefs, caves, canyons, and blue holes. Due to strong currents, encounters with large sharks and mantas are the norm during your Palau liveaboard experience and the amazing biodiversity of the corals and smaller fish will top off your diving holiday.
Palau Siren operates both 7-night and 10-night trips throughout the year, bringing you to a range of sites; from steep reef walls to caverns, sandy channels and wrecks.
Departing from Koror we stop at four anchorage points; Ulong Island, German Channel, Peleliu and Malakal Harbour, from where our tenders shuttle you to the dive sites.
Our special spawning itineraries on Palau Siren offer guests something truly exceptional. Divers joining these cruises will have a chance to witness one of the most spectacular natural events on earth; the spawning aggregations of bumphead parrotfish or red snapper that occur at new and full moon lunar cycles.
Working closely with Unique Ocean Expeditions, we have designed these trips to bring you to the exact spot at the precise time for spawning activity; a truly marvellous spectacle to behold. And with the spawning fish come the predators. This is the chance to see mind-blowing underwater action.

our vessel
Palau Siren
Launched in 2012, Palau Siren was built with love, using the knowledge gained from our previous Sirens.
Welcoming a maximum of 16 guests per cruise, Palau Siren has eight cabins, divided between fixed doubles, fixed twin, and flexible twin/double cabins. Each has air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom with hot water. The covered outdoor dining area provides a great setting for all your meals and the spacious air-conditioned saloon offers a cocktail bar, comfortable seating, and a large flat screen TV.
We receive so many comments that Siren dive decks are some of the most spacious and comfortable out there. There is no change on Palau Siren, with personal storage space on deck, protected from the elements. Inside there are designated areas for charging and preparation of your camera and video equipment, making Palau Siren a top choice for underwater photographers and videographers.
Palau Siren’s tenders are spacious hard-bottomed fiberglass ‘skiffs’, which have ample space for kit set-up. All dive kit remains on the skiffs and they make it super easy to reach dive sites in comfort. This also means that the main boat dive deck has even more space! As with all our tenders, they remain on stand-by to provide assistance and collect you upon surfacing. Groups can be split between sites depending on preference.
