Our first visit to the Philippines was beyond magical and now we will see even more of what the Philippines has to offer!

The Philippines is a nation of 7,000 islands with gorgeous healthy reefs, spectacularly colorful soft corals, frogfish of every size and color, and a huge variety of marine life. We guarantee that you will see things you have never seen before!
This adventure includes five nights at the glorious Atlantis Puerto Galera Resort and a week on the Infiniti Liveaboard with a custom route in the northern Visayas.
We fly into Manila and take private air-conditioned vans to our private speedboat that takes us to Atlantis Puerto Galera. We will find abundant schooling reef fish, jacks, snappers, fairy basslets, trigger fish, groupers, trevally, drummers and barracuda, set the scene against vibrant hard and soft coral reefs. Turtles, moray eels, cephalopods and macro crustaceans are all found in abundance at varied dive sites, some with no current and some drift diving. Some critters you may not have seen before are stick pipefish, ornate pipefish, striped eel catfish, electric clams, giant clams, giant frogfish, harlequin sweetlips and spot faced moray eels to name a few! There are large green turtles and hawksbill turtles a plenty!
We will be staying at the unique hillside 4 star Atlantis Puerta Galera with it's superb gourmet restaurant, beautiful pool and high end spa!
After five wonderful nights right in the heart of bustling Puerta Galera, we return to Manila with our private transport and then fly south to Dumaguete.
We board the Atlantis Infiniti straight from the airport. This beautiful boat will be our home for a week of superb diving and eating!

We have arranged a custom safari through the northern Visayas of the Philippines. There are many unique opportunities for us on this route!
We head to Moalboal for an encounter with somewhere between 7 and 10 million sardines in baitballs waiting for you to enter them! It is a spectacular experience. Nearby we will encounter frogfish heaven; warty frogfish, painted frogfish, and giant frogfish as frequent residents.
We head then to Malapascua, known for easy encounters with magnificent Thresher sharks.
These stunningly beautiful creatures with their metallic bodies reaching up to 20 feet and their sickle-shaped tail fin that is used to swat and stun their prey and can be as long as half their body length. Encounters with these very peaceful sharks will be bucket list highlight.
We head to Bohol with its gorgeous corals, walls, possible pelagic sightings of migrating whale sharks and mantas and a huge variety of macro and marine species. We will be spoiled for choices with the exceptional range of die sites and opportunities.
Our adventure returns us to Dumagete where we fly together back to Manila for our international departures home; with memories that will stay with us forever.
