Comments	In general, Atlantis Dumaguete is a great resort and you'll see many unusual critters. Some things I'd never seen before included orangutan crab, large green ghost pipefish, several varieties of tiny frogfish, and some stunningly beautiful sea urchins. The whale shark dive is also not to be missed. I took a full-day U/W photo workshop with Paul Ankla, the head of dive operations, and it would have been a bargain at twice the price. My photo quality improved dramatically. The resort personnel are very friendly, the food was very good, and the massages were a wonderful way to end the day! I would go back here in a heartbeat.

UW Photo Comments	They have a very nice camera room. My only complaint was the frequent shutting off of the air conditioning, which caused a humidity buildup.
