Plan this trip with AI →The Atlantis Adventurer was custom built for diving, and it shows the moment you step aboard. At 32.5m (107 ft.) with an 18-foot beam, she carries just 16 guests across 8 en-suite, air-conditioned cabins — many with sea views — and runs a crew-to-guest ratio of nearly 1:1. Photographers get particular attention here: a dedicated camera room, a camera station and charging stations mean your gear is looked after as carefully as you are.
The Adventurer's routes run from Dauin and out toward Sablayan and Coron, taking in some of the Philippines' most talked-about diving. Kimud Shoal is known for frequent sightings of thresher sharks, while Gato Island's caverns shelter protected sea kraits and white tip sharks. Apo Island and Apo Reef round out a line-up that mixes macro subjects, dramatic walls and the chance of whale sharks.
Diving runs at 4–5 dives per day with nitrox on board, from a shaded dive deck served by two tenders, with DIN adaptors, rinse hoses and outside showers close at hand. Between dives there's an air-conditioned saloon, a library, a sun deck, an observation deck and a bar — and snorkelers are welcome too.
Embarkation at 5 PM Board the Azores at 5 pm at our Atlantis Dive Resort in Dauin, and enjoy a welcome evening and overnight travel to our first destination.
5: Possible Destinations Cabilao Island, Bohol With its shallow topped reefs and nice drop-offs, the island offers an incredible number of critters in the shallows which are a delight to see. However, what really differentiates it from others nearby are the pristine hard corals around the southern coast. The reef offers species such as Scorpion fish, Tunas, Jackfish, Barracudas, Frogfish, and Nudibranchs. Gato Island, Malapascua One of the pearls of Malapascua and a perfect spot to see both macro and big fish, famous for the chance to spot whitetip and bamboo sharks along tunnels and resting under rocks. The soft coral gardens are home to pygmy seahorses, frogfish, and an array of Nudibranch
