Comments Our first visit to Atlantis Dumaguete resort was a great experience: great food, outstanding service, comfy room (albeit small). The dive operation was very efficient and the large boat easily accommodated our whole group of 12 divers. Our package included one day at Apo island which offered lovely reefs with lots of life: turtles, sea snakes, schooling fish etc. The rest of the diving was done closer to the resort and was mainly muck diving with amazing macro life ( including flamboyant cuttlefish!). I have never seen so many frogfish, all colours and sizes! Unfortunately, we had stormy weather for most of our stay due to an unusual weather system. The air and water temperatures were a bit on the cool side and a 5mm wetsuit would have been desirable. Nevertheless, we had a great dive trip and would come back to this resort with no hesitation.
