We finished our trip on the Indo Siren this morning. Will post a full report when I get home (I'm writing this on an iPhone in the Manado Novotel), but in brief, the boat was the most spacious I've been on - both cabins and Dive Deck, and the crew and dive guides were very good. I would go again if I could afford it.
Only minor niggle was that the guides were not good at reading the currents, resulting in a few dives with tough swims at the start, or where we went in a different direction to what had been briefed - and one dive where me and two others aborted the dive because the current became unenjoyable ( we each have 350+ dives, so are used to currents).
Highlight of the trip for me was a site called Blue Magic, where a Manta hovered less than 2m above me - magic indeed! Would definitely recommend this trip, although probably not for less experienced divers.
