You cannot say “been there, done that, got the t-shirt” when you’re talking about diving in the Philippines. Easy Divers has been there three times, and we continue to be amazed and thrilled with the beauty and diversity of the marine life. So, we’re going back! And, who wouldn’t want to repeat the royal treatment that is the norm from the Atlantis Resort and Azores Yacht staff? On this trip, we’ll enjoy finding the macro critters just minutes from the Dumaguete beach and experience the magic of Apo Island before boarding the Azores Liveaboard for a week.

Due to the airline schedules from most gateway cities, it is generally going to be necessary to overnight at the well-appointed Belmont Hotel on both ends of the trip. This is a great way to get some rest and recuperation first from the plane ride, and then from all the diving fun. The Belmont Hotel is just a moving sidewalk away from the terminal. Check in is fast and easy and a tasty breakfast is included in our overnight stay. After breakfast, we’ll take a quick flight to Dumaguete and a short, air-conditioned van ride to Atlantis. We’ll be greeted at the resort with a cold welcome beverage, a thorough hotel briefing, and a nice teasing five-minute neck and shoulder massage by the onsite spa therapists. Who would like to start diving right away? The dive operation is the epitome of EASY diving! After checking in, everyone is assigned a spacious cubby for their gear. After the first dive, our gear will be assembled and placed on the boats for us each time. During the surface intervals we travel back to the resort for water, tea, and cakes before returning to do it all over again. At the end of the day, our gear will be washed and put up for us (our gear has never been so clean!). Dives are typically scheduled for 9:00, 11:00, 2:00, 4:00 and night, and really, they are each
so spectacular you don’t want to miss any of them (unless of course it is for a 90-minute massage…). After our five days at the resort we will board our floating hotel, the Azores Liveaboard. On our private, luxury yacht we will enjoy eight more days of supreme adventure on the Bohol itinerary. Each cabin is serviced daily and has its own air conditioning and en-suite bathroom. The main salon has a flat screen TV, plenty of movies and games, and a nice area for relaxing.
