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.

Unforgettable experience
Whalesharks! My last time seeing a Whaleshark was almost a dacade ago. I am so lucky with Resolute this week that we saw whalesharks 3 times! I got a really good video. I enjoy the whole week with the professional guides and organisation that makes it a very safe, well-organised, joyful and magical experience. The food was fantastic as well, totally exceeded my expectations. Dive, eat, sleep, repeat. Simple and happy.

Amazing diving experience and great crew
It was a fantastic liveaboard experience. The crew were very helpful and always made sure we were safe and comfortable. The dive sites were beautiful with lots of marine life, and everything was well organized. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on board and would definitely recommend this trip to others.

Amazing trip! Thank you so much
The boat is very well organized and the staff is extremly friendly and helpful. The food was amazing - i am vegetarian and the chef made separate dishes for me :O i did not expect this level of care (and so much delicious vegetarian food)! The guides were very knowledgable and they made sure we were save during strong currents - i felt very comfortable with them. Thank you Jonathan and Mark for showing us so many amazing dive spots! I was in the small cabine which had still it's own toilet and AC. The room was cleaned every day.

A great time for all!
I absolutely loved this trip, Karla, Gilbert, Josh and the other staff were incredible. The dive briefings were always thorough and I always felt in good hands. The highlight for me was diving with the whalesharks - we were really lucky with this. Expect to see big schools of fish, reef sharks and lovely coral. The food was also amazing - thanks Chef! The rooms are on the smaller side, but each have AC and an ensuite. Drinks are on the pricier side - so if you like wine - BYO! Overall, this was a fantastic trip, massive thanks to Karla and Gilbert!

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!

This was an excellent liveaboard experience!! The crew was all super kind and helpful. The reef in Tubbataha was so alive and vibrant, we saw lots of sharks, turtles, nudis, and many more things! And the food was stellar, can’t speak highly enough about the variety and quality of the food. Overall such a great trip!! Thank you Karla, Gilbert, Jonathan, Mark and the rest of the M/Y Resolute team!! High recommend this trip to anyone and everyone!!

Good boat, Good vibes, Good dives
Tubbataha did not disappoint. The reefs lived up to every bit of their reputation, and the diving was simply spectacular. From the sheer walls to the abundance of marine life, every dive felt like a gift. The crew made the experience. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, they went out of their way to make every guest feel cared for. Their hospitality reflected real pride in their work, and I am grateful for their service. One small note for fellow travelers: getting in and out of the top bunk takes a little patience and agility. Come prepared for that, and you will have nothing to complain about. Highly recommended.

would not hesitate to go again with Resolute
Diving with the crew from Resolute was just amazing, professionals and great diving locations. The most economical cabin was very small, but with private bathroom and AC, bunks very comfortable and simply just great to get good night rest. Food served 5 times and day you must be careful not to come back home with few additional kg of weight :)
