Oriental Siren ^{Diving Liveaboard in Layang Layang, Malaysia and Timor Leste}

Diving Liveaboard for 11 Days / 10 Nights in Layang Layang, Dallas and Mariveles Reefs

10 night safaris, departing from and returning to Labuan, run from April to June each year for the best time to see the large pelagics and avoid the monsoon. Upon arrival you will visit one of the local reefs of Labuan for a check dive, and spend the first full diving day exploring the wrecks of the Labuan area before making the 15 hour journey out to Layang Layang. The following eight days will be spent diving the known sites around Layang Layang and venturing further to explore the outer reefs of Mariveles, Dallas, Canada Barque, Louisa and Royal Charlotte.

Layang Layang, also known as Swallows Reef, is the most renowned island in the Spratly Island chain, situated in the South China Sea. Hammerhead sharks are one of the main draws of this little explored diving hot spot, with reefs providing a haven and necessary cleaning stop for the travelling sharks.

The 34 metre S/Y Oriental Siren is built from the finest Asian teak and ironwood. She is a traditional twin mast junk, rigged with traditional style sails that are both functional and beautiful. S/Y Oriental Siren welcomes up to 14 guests aboard each trip. This ensures abundant space for all guests. However, she has the facilities and ample room to host up to 16 guests on special charters.
