Pleasant trip
The crew was very enthusiastic, and the safety management on the boat was excellent. There were charging stations monitored at all times even though the voltage in the rooms was stable. The food was fresh and tasty. The corals were healthy. I definitely recommend this boat for Tubbataha.

Overall a good experience
Overall a good experience. Got lucky for one manta, one whale shark, one marble ray, lots of sharks and turtles…. On the downside… large group diving… and if you are a non photographer in a group with photographers, the dynamics of the dive may or may not suit you. Relation quality/price is average, considering that it is an expensive destination. The staff was great at all times. The dive staff very experienced and professional. After the third day the food was repetitive. Nevertheless, I appreciated very much to accommodate for a vegetarian. The room is tiny but manageable, coordinating a bit with your roommate which you may or may not know. The drainage smell in the bathroom was constantly unpleasant, even if there was an air freshener. If leaving the door open it was manageable, but keeping the door closed for a short time would then intensify the smell to be very dense. The rooms don’t have air conditioning, but do have a power blowing port which essential for any air circulation. The additional mandatory expenses were clearly stated. However, what is called a “service charge” it is interpreted by most as for service (as in gratuities/tips), but they said it is a “government charge”… then please just call it a government charge. Even better just include all the mandatory expenses in the price from the start. There will always be someone who complains about something, like change of dive sites due to weather, but we were in good hands. Albeit some changes, the crew ensured the best location for the conditions. I can say I enjoyed my experience on the Palau Sport. Thank you!

Nice boat and crew
For a first liveaboard expérience, it was a nice one. But the weather and current was not on our side and we did not see much underwater...

One of the best diving experiences I have had
The diving itself was superb, the boat and crew were excellent . The accommodations were nice . The food was good . The crew and especially the dive guides were very professional and safe. All in all it was a fantastic trip and the Palau Sport was a much better experience than I had expected . John and Edwin do a great job ! I would certainly recommend this dive boat to anyone looking to do a live aboard in the Philippines .
