We are excited to offer a special Philippines itinerary that includes 2 very different locations with beautiful coral, spectacular muck diving, octopus, nudibranchs, sea horses, whale shark snorkel, 2 island dive excursions, and land excursions. The Philippines is a nation of 7,000 islands and we will get a taste of it.
 

We fly into Manila and take private air-conditioned vans to our private speedboat that takes us to our first location.

​

Atlantis Puerto Galera is our first stop. It has amazing and varied dive sites, with moderate current and drift diving.  You will experience the beauty of the hard and soft coral with a huge variety of marine life, some of which you may not have seen before. You are likely to see stick pipefish, ornate pipefish, striped eel catfish, electric clams, giant clams, giant frogfish, harlequin sweetlips and spot faced moray eel to name a few! Even familiar fish have different species in this area. There are large green turtles and hawksbill turtles at both locations. 

After 6 wonderful nights right in the heart of bustling Puerta Galera, we return to Manila and then fly south to Dumaguete.

​

Atlantis Dumaguete is the second location, on the beach, in the quiet location of Dauin. It offers spectacular macro-opportunities with its muck diving sites. You are guaranteed to see at least 3 of the 7 types of octopus that inhabit this area and possibly all on one site!
