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!

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.

Wonderful experience with MV Dolphin
Tubbataha reef is wonderful place that you might see so many white tip and grey reef sharks, manta ray, tiger shark and even whale shark in one place! Corals are well protected and oceanic creatures don't be afraid of human being. It is a great place that I really want to visit again. Also, MV Dolphin is a nice ship that can serve you very well. All crews are well experienced and kind. It has relatively large room compared to its price, and beers are included in your boat fee. MV Dolphin is absolutely a good choice and value for money among 15 liveboard ships in Tubbataha reef.

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.

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

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.
