Comments	We spent six nights at Atlantis Dumaguete after a week on the Atlantis Azores liveaboard. It takes a full day to get from Puerto Princessa to Dumaguete as you need to fly via Manila with a 3.5 hour layover. Dumaguete is macro critter diving and I really enjoyed this place. Dive boats were generally uncrowded, dive staff very helpful and plenty to see and photograph. Our package included a 3 tank day trip to Apo Island which is reef/wall diving and has some of the most healthy, colorful corals I have ever seen. Meals are served in the open air restaurant and were included in our package. While some folks complained about the service, to me it was not too bad. Food was good with several choices to pick from. We stayed in an oceanfront room with a balcony and great views. Room itself was very comfortable. Dive operation was well organized. Each diver is assigned a cubby space for gear along with hanging space for wetsuits et. al. Nitrox tanks get analyzed and tagged with your name. The staff carries all the tanks/BC's to the boat, you bring yourself, fins, and mask. I would recommend Atlantis Dumaguete as an excellent option for land based Philippines diving.
