La Paz is easy to get to from North America, and a great value. The locals are very friendly and helpful. Seemed very safe. Scuba diving is always after a long boat ride but very enjoyable. Visibility not bad and the water is warm. Not a lot of marine life diversity but proximity to what is there makes up for it. Bring receipts for your expensive underwater photo equipment when going thru customs.
Outstanding boat, crew, and organization. It was my 25th live-aboard and I was not disappointed.
I was on the Coron to Anilao trip which also visits Puerto Gallera and Apo reef. Every site was very different and 3 days in each was perfect. Coron has WW2 wrecks. Apo is reef and walls, but few fish. Sad! Puerto Gallera has amazing corals and macro. Anilao is muck and little else.
I wish that there were more fish, but when you see the local poverty and fishermen, you realize that fish is the primary source of food for many of them.
Siren does a great job of arranging travel and transfers. Free gear rental and nitrox is sweet. The crew is extremely helpful and friendly. Dive from zodiacs. Food amazing and an experience. Stable and sea-worthy boat.
