Atmosphere Resorts & Spa is located along Duain’s coastline, only 40-minutes by boat from Apo Island, in an idyllic position to dive in stunning biodiversity with hundreds of coral and fish species on nearly every site. The resort has its own spectacular house reef, where green turtles can be seen cruising the seagrass shallows, and where macro-lovers will be in their element with many a camouflaged critter hiding on the pristine brown volcanic sand or in the cracks and crevasses of the main reef. Apo Island is an absolutely incredible protected marine park, bursting with rich and unique sea life, a renowned turtle hotspot, considered to be one of the best diving islands in the Philippines. From large pelagic schools to the tiniest of critters, these waters are home to a staggering array of diversity with sites to suit every level and interest, and a true haven for underwater photographers.
Atmosphere’s Dive Centre is wonderfully equipped with all the first-class amenities needed for relaxed, safe and enjoyable diving. The experienced and friendly team has solid knowledge of all the surrounding sites, and will help guide you through a mix of reef and macro diving using their expertise of the dive conditions and seasonal critters. The impressive 5* PADI Career Development Centre is large, welcoming and conveniently positioned steps away from the shore, with small dive groups guaranteed (maximum 4 divers per Dive Master). Diving takes place either on the house reef, along the 20 sites offered on Duain’s coastline or around the 10 sites at Apo Island, depending on divers’ preferences and needs. A full range of courses are on offer and the state-of-the-art centre includes ample storage spaces, complimentary Nitrox for all nitrox-certified divers, a camera/video room with private workspace for each diver and full equipment rental.
The luxury continues out at sea, where the dive crew will assist with all your dive gear before and after the dive, and will provide you with fruit, refreshments and hot face towels when you exit the water. At the end of a spectacular days’ diving, you can look forward to a drink on the beach with a wonderful buzzy post-diving vibe.
