This is the BEST OF THE PHILIPPINES, in this unique itinerary we dive into all the famous Philippines dive spots plus many secret spots many haven't heard of. Join Girls that Scuba for a trip of a lifetime in 2026! 

From soft coral-covered walls to black sand dives to Thresher sharks, huge schools of sardines, turtles, sea snakes, schools of jacks and whale sharks. On the macro side there is fascinating critters such as waspfish, ghost pipefish, pigmy seahorses, frogfish, blue ringed octopus, and many other unique macro critters, offering lots of diversity. This trip really has it all! 

The 40 metre Philippine Siren was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional to the area), you will find no other diving liveaboard as beautiful in waters of the Philippines.

Philippine Siren welcomes up to 16 guests in eight cabins. Guest accommodation on board comprises two fixed double bed cabins, four fixed twins and 2 cabins that are flexible doubles/twins. Each cabin is equipped with individually controlled air-conditioning units, plenty of storage space and private ensuite bathrooms. 

The spacious, air-conditioned saloon benefits from a cocktail bar, comfortable seating and a large flat screen TV. Dining is outdoors under a covered area with uninterrupted views of the ocean. An expansive dive deck provides ample space for kitting up and storing dive equipment, even when the vessel is full, and fresh water showers available to rinse off after each dive. 

Underwater photographers and videographers will definitely appreciate the separate rinse tanks as well as the designated areas for charging and preparation of camera equipment.

The vessel also benefits from 2 high-powered tenders, nitrox compressor, equipment rental, kayaks, laundry and massage services.

All scuba trips are different! Here at Girls that Scuba trips we specialise in group trips centered around fun and friendships. We aim to create once-in-a-lifetime trips where you won't just dive in the best places in the world, but you'll meet like-minded people who may well become dive buddies for life! Group trips mean lots of socialising and getting to know each other. There's also a lot of downtime and opportunities for alone time, but in general, you will always be with the group. 

You'll also have a Girls that Scuba trip host with you who is there to make sure everything is running smoothly. She will be your go-to for any suggestions and ideas while on the trip and the middle woman between the liveaboard/dive centre and the group. She is also available for any hints and tips on diving/conditions/gear and anything Girls that Scuba community related as well as always being the one asking for group photos 😉

You will be sharing a room on a boat with another female diver and will all eat meals together and hang out together when not diving. You will be diving in groups of around 6 divers or less per group.

A minimum of 25 dives, OWD or equivalent, is required to join this trip. It is possible to dive Visayas & Malapascua all year round, and water temperatures range between 27°C – 30°C, dropping down to 25°C in December – February.
