Highlights
Operating since 1998, MY Resolute is one of the longest-running liveaboard vessels in the Philippines. With a highly experienced crew on board, the boat visits Tubbataha from March to June. This UNESCO heritage site offers pristine dive conditions and shark sightings on almost every dive, with the chance of encountering white tip, grey reef, nurse, and hammerhead sharks. From July- to October, M/Y Resolute relocates to the island of Cebu for diving in the Visayas to see whale sharks, thresher sharks, and colorful critters. The ship then navigates to Apo Reef, offering the chance to dive with hammerheads, reef sharks, and other pelagic life.
Topside, the MY Resolute liveaboard caters to just 16 guests. There are 8 comfortable cabins available, each with individually controlled AC and en-suite bathrooms. Meals are served in the open-air dining room, and dinner is usually a five-course buffet consisting of 2 meat dishes, 1 seafood, soup, and vegetables. Special dietary requirements are catered to with advance notice. The ship's bow offers loungers and is a great place to soak up the sun, and the indoor salon offers a cool area with an entertainment system and a camera room. The large dive deck is located at the back of the boat and offers ample space for kitting up and individual gear storage.

Awesome diving and the best liveaboard experience
As expected, diving in Tubbataha was amazing. Healthy coral reefs with thousands of fishes, sharks and mantas. They are doing a great job protecting and managing these reefs! In addition, everything was excellent on board. Starting with the food: I'm vegetarian and they prepared delicious vegetarian food for us in every meal. I loved that the food is served on an exterior covered deck (instead of having lunch and dinner inside the boat as in other liveaboards), and the upper deck is great for taking naps! The Resolute has a lot of space to chill between dives and spacious cabins with comfy beds. The crew was also 5 stars, helpful and friendly, and the dives were really well guided with our safety being always the first priority. So what else do you want? 200% recommended!

Diving trip tubbataha
Review resolute We were on the Resolute cruise from 2-8 april 2025 to Tubbataha reef with 4 experienced 3* CMAS divers who have been diving around the world. This liveaboard gives you a great cost quality rate. The boat is one of the oldest ones of the fleet but gives all the comfort you’ll need. We got the smallest cabin but beds and matress are very good. It’s small but you’re on a dive boat… The food was exquisite! It’s a great variety of local vs western food. The chefs do great work! Stewards, captains, compressor operators and engineers are lovely people. They’re open for a good talk and give you explanation and help for whatever problem you can have. Ex: one of the people had problems with his BCD and they solved it, bottles were always correctly filled and nitrox was prepared like it should be, we had problems with our toilet flush…solved. The dive masters and speedboat skippers were lovely! We had to fit our gear one time, they labeled, looked at the configuration and from then on we haven’t had to do anything anymore. They were very professional and strict about analyzing nitrox, this all for our own safety. Getting to the dive spot runned very smoothly, even when conditions were a bit more extreme. From the moment we surfaced again the speedboat rushed to our spot. Between dives they were very carefull with our diving gear ex: a cover was over the gear between morning and afternoon dives to protect them from the sun, normal glasses were kept safe during your dive. The dive masters (Athan, Josh, Gilbert and Carla) did tremendous work above and under the surface! They protect you as well as the reef. They know the spots perfectly and can change their lead due to weather conditions or current. We found some plastic and fishing lines and they help you to get it surfaced! Briefings were given very strictly with maps of the dive spot so everyone knows what comes. Simply said it was perfect!

Casual boat. Good crew. Good diving.
We had good weather and decent diving for the week. Saw mantas, large schools of bumphead parrotfish, many nurse and white tip sharks and schools of barracuda. In most places the reef looked amazingly healthy. Overall, the crew was very helpful and friendly. Boat was a little cramped at times but generally it was a good boat to be on.

Dugong and Apo Reef on their best !
17 nice dives - especially the one with the dugong and the others in Apo Reef (bumphead parrotfishes, white tips, turtles ; colorful, pristine and so well preserved corals). Amazing visibility. Staff and dive masters were very professional and friendly (Aika, Gilbert, Jonathan…) Great food cooked by the chef who previously worked at the Shangri-La Manila

Great diving at unique divesites on a great boat with amazing Crew!
Traveling with MV Resolute means having a great time. I was on the Apo reef, Coron wrecks and the Dugong observation trip. Apo Reef is an amazing reef with beautiful coral gardens in the middle of the Zulu Sea. Coincidentally, the Manta also visited us during our dives. After that we dove in the ship graveyard before Coron. A journey into the past, now full of marine life. But the very next day we had an appointment with the protected dugongs from Calauit island. A feeling of happiness diving with them... goosebumps... Shortly before disembarking, the last dives in the Isla Verde Strait .. perfect end to a great diving trip with MV Resolute. I can recommend it.
