⭐ Final Thoughts This wasn’t just a dive trip—it was a five-star adventure. Clean boat, incredible food, soups I’ll dream about, a crew that felt like family, and safety that let me enjoy every moment
If I could sum up my trip on the MY Gypsy in one word, it would be: unforgettable. From the moment I stepped on board, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The boat was spotless—so clean you could practically eat off the deck (though with the food they served, you’d never want to!). 🍲 Food Worth Writing Home About I didn’t expect to rave about soups on a dive trip, but here we are. Every meal was delicious, but the soups were the kind of comfort food that made you look forward to mealtimes almost as much as the dives. Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with love—they were five-star dishes floating on the ocean. I kept telling my dive buddies, “This soup alone is worth the trip!” 🤿 Crew That Made the Ocean Feel Like Home The dive crew was outstanding. They weren’t just there to guide us—they genuinely cared about making each dive special. Whether it was helping us gear up, pointing out hidden gems underwater, or just sharing their enthusiasm, they made the whole experience feel personal and fun. 🛟 Safety Without Stress What really stood out was how smoothly they handled safety. Getting in and out of the water was organized and calm, and during the dives, you could tell safety was always the top priority. It gave me total peace of mind, so I could just relax and soak in the underwater magic.

- Soup at lunch. The crew manning the panga/zodiac = rubber boat "Speedy" by name. Over all service - everyone involved.

Fantastic Experience
Tubbataha itself is a great location where to dive especially if the boat is comfortable and the crew including dive guides are reliable. Capitan drove smoothly and between dives was able to lay on couch enjoying sunset and relaxing. Food was good, maybe need to increase the variety of dishes but all was prepared in a nice way. There was an emergency aboard and the crew reacted quickly and with knowledge and that helped a lot.

Beautiful encounters on and under the water
We really liked the format of only four cabins, especially since the other guests were extremely friendly. The staff is very smiling, efficient and friendly. The Dive Sites are chosen according to the weather, of course, we had the chance to do three Dive with the Fox Sharks. The boat is overall very comfortable and well maintained. The diving equipment is top-notch.

A wonderful experience with the MY Gypsy crew
We had the chance and great pleasure of spending a wonderful week of diving with the MY Gypsy team from November 20 to 27, 2025. We are a couple in our sixties with more than 700 dives over the past 30 years. We have often traveled to the Caribbean (Cozumel, Curaçao, Bonaire), Indonesia (Raja Ampat, Bunaken, Bali), and the Maldives. We usually stay in hotels or Airbnb-style accommodations, and this was only our second liveaboard experience. The MY Gypsy is a boat that accommodates a maximum of eight guests. During our trip, we were six guests onboard, with eight crew members. The service was outstanding, the dives were spectacular, the briefings were relevant and clear, and safety was always a priority. Meals were served at the table—varied, generous, consistently excellent, and often refined. Christian Junior, our dive guide, was fantastic at drawing our attention to the tiny, almost invisible creatures. The entire crew was attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead of our needs, without ever being intrusive. We had the largest cabin, which was comfortable, spacious, and impeccably clean. We extend our warmest thanks to the whole team for this memorable stay. .

Looking to book my next trip with Gypsy again
My solo trip on Gypsy was greeted with impeccable service by the crew that goes above and beyond for the guests, scrumptious meals by the chef that attributed to 2kg of weight gain and dive guides who made my experience an exceptional one.

If you’re diving Philippines, you’re remiss not to use Gypsy
Finn met us at lobby. An owner and operator of boat. This isn’t owned by some remote company. The owners go out with the cruise, leading to exceptional customer care and diving sites. They are divers, not just corporate owners. Food crew and cabins top notch.
