Philippine Siren
An older boat and not as comfortable as some of the 4 and 5 star boats I have been on. Not a Mermaid or Agressor level by any means. Huge diving deck with diving off dingies. Was 5 or 6 divers to a guide. Rooms were good size though. Food was great and way above average-see the pics.
I agree with the above reviewer about the shallow draft that can make the first and last nights unpleasant due to lots of rolling even when waves not that big. Lat nights dinner disrupted by crashing bottles and plates on way back.. Great staff and friendly Philipino crew. Good captain and guides.
Tubbataha is mostly larger stuff, not much of any macro and diving conditions can be challenging. Avoid room #8 which is the back of the boat & accessible down a difficult ladder staircase & is claustrophobic and isolated from all the other rooms.
