Atmosphere Resort & Spa Diving

This scuba diving resort has its own PADI 5 Star diving center. They have two in-house photo instructors as well as dive instructors for multiple dive certifications. A marine biologist is also available for dives. In addition, they have a dedicated camera room, hot chocolate after night dives, and complimentary Nitrox. Oh, and don't forget the fresh fruit drinks and towels between dives. So, you can dive the Atmosphere Resort & Spa house reef and find rare small creatures, do a mandarin fish dive at dusk, or do a Fluoro dive. As for boats, they use two 30ft long speed boats to dive 20 some sites near the Dauin sanctuaries. An 84ft long outrigger is used to explore some 12 dive sites around the Apo Island Marine Sanctuary. Snorkeling around Apo Island is also fantastic. The islands around Atmosphere Resort & Spa have volcanic origins, so expect to encounter a few pockets of warm black sand. Most other areas of black sand are home to macro size invertebrates and fish; hence the words "Muck Dive". Common critters here include Donald Duck/Long nose shrimp, nudibranchs, and beautifully ornate and colored shelled gastropods. Mimic octopus, green and leatherback turtles are some of the larger characters found in the nearby coral bommies. Meanwhile, dog tooth tuna on up to whale sharks can be occasionally spotted swimming from one destination to another.

Attractions and Activities
