Siren Fleet announce Palau-Philippine Combo trip

Published

on

Siren Fleet is offering guests the opportunity to dive two fabulous dive destinations back to back. Dive the Philippines and Palau from the 11th to the 24th of July 2015, with your first week on board the Philippine Siren and then after a short hop, your second week on the Palau Siren. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore and discover what these two very different destinations have to offer you.

The Philippines will give you the opportunity to see the tiniest sea critters, hidden between beautiful coral reefs and on black sandy bottoms, such as nudibranchs, sea horses, ghost pipe fish or even a frogfish or the rare blue ringed octopus. At the same time, you will also have the opportunity to experience one of the most incredible close encounters of your life by snorkelling with the majestic whale shark. Or watch thresher sharks hunt a huge school of sardines.

While in Palau you will be hooked in at Blue Corner counting the sharks in front of you, watch the mantas dancing among a huge school of fish in the German Channel and even snorkel among non-sticky jellyfish. What else could you ask for from a scuba diving trip?
