It is undeniably the phenomenal diversity, both above and below the water, that makes scuba diving in Indonesia's an unmissable stop on the diving map. Yet in such an expansive country, only a liveaboard in Indonesia enables you to really experience the true beauty and best scuba diving on offer here. Diving in Raja Ampat or North Sulawesi are quite literally a dream come true. Take a scuba diving holiday to either of these remote provinces and you are promised an exclusive getaway from the world. Spend hours scuba diving and discover the immense bio diversity at the heart of the Coral Triangle. And now you can match the opulence underwater with complete comfort above the waves on board the Mandarin Siren. This luxurious liveaboard has all the hallmarks that make the Worldwide Dive & Sail fleet so popular. Few liveaboard holidays will match their attention to detail. So you can enjoy total relaxation on board a first class diving holiday from start to finish.

Mandarin Siren only sleeps 6 divers in 4 cabins and each cabin will exceed expectations. This is a modern boat for discerning divers with air con and en suite as standard in each cabin. There is also a hair dryer, bathrobes and a private flat screen which doubles up as a personal computer, linked into the boat's network - perfect for sharing pics or watching a movie at the end of the day. The on board laundry takes care of fresh towels at the end of each dive. The saloon is spacious and home to the all important cocktail bar. Dining takes place outside under a canopy whilst you can while away the surface intervals on the Mandarins leisure deck. Or why not pamper yourself a bit and treat yourself to a massage onboard the Mandarin Siren.

Mandarin Siren moves around depending on the best season, keeping the diving fresh and exciting each and every day. The Coral Triangle, which encompasses Raja Ampat and North Sulawesi, is famed for it's incredibly high bio diversity and new species are still being discovered. Whilst big fish can be found (manta and eagle rays are seen regularly in Raja Ampat), it is the macro life that draws divers in. Hairy frogfish, ornate ghost pipefish, flamboyant cuttlefish... these are but some of the weird and wonderful beasties that you can expect to see. Look closer and you can find the myriad of tiny shrimps, crabs and nudibranch that are littered everywhere. Dive on resplendent hard coral reefs, deep drop offs, caves, amid mangroves and or course sandy bottoms. There is plenty to photograph without ever being bored. Wobbegongs and epaulette sharks add some spice. Mandarin Siren has ample space for the largest rig and dedicated camera tanks to boot. All you have to do is take a deep breath and enjoy!
