Diving on Tubbataha - M/Y Dolphin
I had a great trip on M/Y Dolphin to remote Tubbataha reef. The crew and the new owner Kevin made us feel extremely welcome. I enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Diving was great, I felt very privileged to be exploring this remote and special part of the world.

Fantastic
We had a great time with the staff of the boat. The diving was great, we got lucky and experienced whale sharks on a few dives, the food was very good, the price was fair, the dive director was very professional, the dive guides were fantastic...it was just dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, sleep... I made a short home video that sums it all up: https://vimeo.com/339210754

Safe but also relaxed and friendly. Amazing!
The Dolphin is a big boat that is well organised for diving. Has a lot of space to chill in the shade or in the sun. Great food and a very welcoming crew. The owners care about it, their crew and the passengers. So it reflects in the ambiance of the trip. It is safe but relaxed at the same time. I had a great time on board and recommend this boat highly!

Great value for money, awesome crew
I've spent one awesome week of diving at Tubbataha onboard the Dolphin. Outstanding, very helpful and extremely friendly crew members. Fantastic organization and problem solving by cruise director Jan. The food was good and plenty, the boat in good condition and well suited for diving operations, the diving fantastic.

Nice boat, nice crew, also nice apo reef
It was a nice pick up and very uncomplicaded. Vip room was soo big and comfy, sadly the bathroom needs a general maintanancw (toilet water, pole for holding in shower, ventilator doesen't work so it is always wet) The meals were very good.. There were also everytime toast or cookies to have Briefings were ok, maby telling about what we can see, and maby some visuals of the diving spots. Guides were friendly and showed many things. They also asked what we wanna see. Crew was very friendly in cantine room also divegear crew. I think it was very good organized, many crew people with different jobs.
