Atlantis Dive Resort, Puerto Galera
Puerto Galera Dive resort.
Best food of any dive resort or liveaboard I have been on--and I've been on alot! Was served ala carte which I much preferred over buffet style. Always several options and appetizers and desserts besides main courses. Lots of fresh fish and seafood but also great meat and chicken dishes. Lighter options like stir fry also available to change it up and always able to switch things up to accomodate any taste. was the highpoint of each day-was really gourmet cooking. The dining room manager was there every day with suggestions.
Great Macro diving. Friendly staff and more than enough dives daily to keep everyone happy & satisfied. They had several boats that were never crowded and not more than 15 min ride to any dive site. More muck diving though a few reefs were available. Lots of nudibranchs, scorpionfish, pipefish, razorfish, frogfish and lots of nemos. Blue ringed octopus at night. A few deep dives but not as many. Really was my first macro muck place and really taught me how to slow down and look for the little stuff.
Convenient pickup from Manila airport. The rooms are on a hill so a little walking to get to your rooms. Town is small & simple but everything you need is at the resort. I went in August for off season specials and got lucky with no weather issues.
