Cabins are double or twin and all located on the lower deck. They are all air-conditioned and well appointed complete with TVs and networked computers. Private en-suite bathrooms come complete with fluffy bathrobes. You can also avail of the laundry service, massage service and on board boutique.

Some of the features that set the Indo Siren dive safaris apart include free scuba equipment set, free nitrox, free beer and a computer and DVD player in each cabin. Keen to be considered the top choice for underwater photography and videography, there are designated areas for charging cameras and video equipment as well as separate rinse tanks and camera table on the dive deck.

Whether taking photos or scuba diving purely for pleasure, SY Indo Siren delivers the experience of a high quality Raja Ampat liveaboard tour in West Papua Province that will live long in the memory.
