I spent an amazing two weeks on the Atlantis properties in the Philippines. The first week we lodged at the resort in Dumaguete and the second week aboard the Azores liveaboard. Video’s and photograph’s from the second week of diving can be found here.

The Atlantis in Dumaguete has everything you need in a dive resort. When we arrive in Manila, the Atlantis staff greeted us in the international terminal and helped transfer us to the domestic terminal to Dumaguete. Additional staff was waiting to collect us when we arrived in Dumaguete and transferred us to the resort.

This was my fist time using a Gopro Hero 4 Silver and editing in iMovie.

My room in Dumaguete was spacious, had 24/7 hot water shower, TV with local and English channels, and mini-refrigerator. Outside the room, there were 2 chairs, table and drying rack. The restaurant, which is situated on the beach, had a tasty menu and fine selection of drinks.

The diving is great in Dumaguete is great especially if macro photography or video is your thing. The dive masters are very friendly and knowledgeable. The Atlantis has several boats to take divers to various sites. The dive shop is quite organized, upon arrival, you are assigned a large bin for to store your dive gear and hang your gear.
