Remarkable diving, even better crew
We dove Apo Reef and Coron. The diving was spectacular, much better than I expected. The visibility was the best I've seen in a long time and Apo Reef, and the marine life was stunning! The guides were very experienced and professional. The food was spectacular! So many different types of meals. Then we had a birthday on the boat on the last day, and they went above and beyond with a splendid cake and singing celebrations! The best liveaboard trip I've ever taken.

Worth Every Peny
We had an awesome time on The Dolphin Liveaboard. The diving was nothing short of exceptional, I must say we were very lucky, as apparently the group before us did not manage to see as much. But that is nature, nothing to do with the liveaboard. The staff where all very nice and accommodating, the dive guides all did their utmost to make their group enjoy their dives. The food was also very good, nothing to complain about really, will definitely book again on the Dolphin if I visit Tubbataha again

Exceptional Diving and Liveaboard Experience
Naturally all of the great diving, numerous whale sharks, several mantas, lots of sharks, schools of barracuda and jacks. The crew was very good and the fellow divers were fun to know. The end of the trip barbeque on the rear deck was a hoot, live singing and just plain fun, lots of diver participation. Jan did a great job of organization.

The most wonderful dive experience we could ever had
The best decision I ever made. We were welcomed by the crew and the owner who joined the trip with us and from there it just got better. Our VIP room was spacious and super confortable. The food serviced was just like the one you would get from a restaurant, fresh and delicious. Our diver master, Bong, was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. Ohr first dive, we saw a beautiful whale shark just in front of us. The whole trip was just amazing. The walls are colorful and full of live. A big thank you to Kevin who dove close to us all the time to make sure we were all safe. After each dive, I would just lay down in the 3rd deck until the next dive, and the crew would bring me drinks and even a pillow. They were all so attentive and kind. Thank you all for making our experience the best we could have it.
