Indo Siren

The S/Y Indo Siren liveaboard is a 40m (131ft) long schooner which offers a lot of space. She was built in Sulawesi, and like the other Siren yachts is a traditional ‘Phinisi’ handcrafted from ironwood and teak. The Indo Siren offers 10-night excursions in Komodo and Raja Ampat. Additionally, 12 and 14-night relocation cruises are scheduled between the two destinations.

Features

The Indo Siren liveaboard has a large air-conditioned saloon with bar, coffee machine, entertainment system with music and movies, small library and cozy sitting area. The dining area in the saloon is very spacious. In the outer area is a semi-circular dining table where guests can enjoy the delicious Asian and European food served in buffet style. You find a nice shady resting area at the bow of the vessel and on top of the salon is a sundeck with lounge chairs. They also have sea kayaks available and for an additional fee laundry and massage service.

Dive Areas

Raja Ampat: The reefs of Raja Ampat are just as varied as the marine life. There are vertical walls, reef flats, slopes, seamounts, mucky mangroves, lagoons and pinnacles. The reefs are in pristine condition with miles of perfect hard corals and many varied colourful species of soft corals.

Komodo & Sunda Islands: The dive sites around Komodo are among the best in Indonesia. The strong currents create nutrient-rich waters, making the area very interesting for experienced divers. An incredible diversity and variety of reef structures can be found. Hard coral gardens, cliffs overgrown with soft corals, and particularly the slightly cooler water around Rinca guarantee an underwater world where every dive is different.

The diving is predominantly drift diving due to the moderate prevalent currents in the area which provide nutrients for the myriad fish and coral. Currents average at ‘moderate’ but can vary from none to ‘very strong’. Due to these currents and the number of wrecks, Irian Jaya is not really considered a destination for absolute beginners, rather for divers with a few dives under their weight belts looking to get away from the crowds.

Note that additional itineraries are occasionally on offer. These transition trips offer a great diversity of diving along the way.

Staying Connected

Many of the Indo Siren trips are in remote locations and even phone service is intermittent at best. Therefore, no Internet service is provided on board Siren Fleet yachts. Most cell or mobile phones which have ‘roaming’ will function during the cruise, however, service signal strength can be very weak and some areas of your cruise may not be covered at all.
