Dives with splendid corals
The fact that you are in a small group allows you to enjoy yourself even more underwater and get to know each other more quickly. The staff is friendly and the meals are plentiful. The dives are beautiful in terms of coral although we didn't see any mantas/whale sharks.

The dive guides, the corals which are all more beautiful than each other and finally the sunsets from the sundeck which are extraordinary

Tubbataha is nice and Narayana is a safe and economical way to explore it
Narayana exceeded my expectations. Although the dive deck is pretty crowded, the crew tried their best to make diving convenient to everyone. The rooms have huge panoramic windows, the A/C at night works great, the food is mostly Philippine, which is perfect, as it gives an opportunity to explore new flavors. And the diving was very nice: beautiful corals, plenty of fishes, great visibility…
