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.

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.

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.

Good diving and food, there is not much more you need
I enjoyed my trip on the Dolphin. Tubbataha is a great diving area in the Philippines (though behind the best Indonesia has to offer), and the Dolphin offers a great diving operation for it.

Great staff, always there to assist your needs
Already mentioned above, the highlight dive was on the last day. As soon as began our descent, a white tip, several great barracudas, and a school of Jack's. Of course we descended asap to deeper water and enjoyed the show.
