Dive Review of S/Y Philippine Siren in
Philippines/Tubbataha to Cebu

Hi Michael, Thank for taking the time to review your cruise, good to hear that on whole you enjoyed it and even more so that you decided to dive with us in Palau. We are constantly striving to improve our service and constructive criticism is always welcomed so we’d like to quickly address a few points. Firstly, we already have non-slip mats for the bathrooms which are already on board (they are also already on-board in Palau you will be pleased to know). With regard to equipment being left on the RIBS, this is unfortunately not practical aboard the Philippines Siren as the vessel is often moving between dives and so tank fills are not possible. In Palau the boat is often anchored between dives and so fills on the skiffs is a much easier proposition. However, our crews are always to carry guest's equipment to and from the ribs if they are requested to do so, and often are. We are limited with response length here so we have sent a more detailed response via your agent, Again Michael, thank you for taking the time to write the report, we look forward to seeing you in Palau.

Thank you for replying. One point is two people fell in the shower because there were NOT mats in them, and the crew did not offer to give them out, people had to ask. Second, it is not acceptable to have non-functioning air conditioners in 95F heat with no wind in the salon and cabins. I hope these have both been corrected. The boat design for divers walk to the dinghy ladder is poor, and unless you make the outer corridor wider, will continue to be problematic.
