Ask any diver and the question is not “why dive the Philippines?" It’s really, “when do we go!”

The Philippines are in the heart of the Indo-Pacific with currents coming from North, South, East and West bringing nutrients and life to this area, making it one of the world’s most vibrant and diverse marine environments. It has everything the diver wants: fish, from the small tropical to the giant pelagic; invertebrates – 3,000,000 or so different nudibranchs and, of course, about 1000 species of coral, and then there is the warm water, great clarity and the totally beautiful topside surroundings. We can drift, poke around in the muck or get deep; it’s all there 10 minutes or less from the resort. Plus, there is always the house reef for those of you (and you know who you are) that need and require more than 4 dives per day.

So, with over 7000 islands to explore, we thought we would get started with the Atlantis Resorts in Puerto Galera and Dumaguete.
