My sister and I stayed at Atmosphere resort for a week in November and had an amazing time! The diving was the best we've ever seen! The scuba diving was amazing and all the dives sites were so close to the resort. I don't think ever had to travel more than 30 minutes by boat (not counting Apo Island). All of the DMs were top notch! We loved diving with Arjay and Ian. This was my first ever dive trip where I did a ton of diving but didn't lose a lot of weight because the food was so good. The most difficult thing about diving with Atmosphere is that it can be difficult to squeeze in a 2-3 course meal in between your dives. All of the staff at the resort are so accommodating. We're already trying to plan a return trip!

Decided to check out Atmosphere after going on another Bluewater trip and everyone on my boat said Atmosphere/Dumaguete was in their top 3 trips. Wow! This place is the gold standard for diving vacations for me now! The diving was the best I've ever seen! I'm completely spoiled now. We were fortunate to have a guide to ourselves nearly the entire trip. The accommodations and food were also top notch. This is the first diving trip I've ever been on and haven't lost weight. My sister and I have already booked another trip for when the Philippines reopens to foreign tourists. We can't wait to go back.

Atmosphere Resort is simply beautiful. We stayed in one of their garden bungalows that was conveniently located near the dining hall, bar and dive center. The grounds are extensive and lush. Our room was spacious and luxurious. The food was delicious; the restaurant manager Ed went out of his way to make sure we had adequate vegan choices. There was in fact an entire vegan menu for all meals plus vegan specials.

The staff in the dive center, reception, dining hall, and housekeeping were all attentive and accommodating. The dive center has a nice open lounge area in front of the white board with the schedule and a second white board for dive briefings. The camera room was well supplied .I loved the two large locker rooms with fans blowing in the back to dry out gear. The rinse tanks are well labeled. The crew will take your camera and gear to and from the boats which are a short walk away. The speedboats are not large, but a large boat is used for trips to Apo Island. (Do not miss a trip to Apo Island)

The diving was incredible. Water temperature was 81-83 degree F. in the last two weeks of April. The visibility was generally quite good (40-60 feet). We saw many MANY frogfish (Painted, Hairy), ocellate octopus (Mototi), hairy shrimp, mouth-brooding cardinal fish, mandarin fish, sea snakes , turtles, a large school of squid, and amazing nudibranchs.

I would highly recommend diving in Dauin and staying at the Atmosphere Resort.

Staying at Atmosphere was a treat!! The resort is beautiful and well cared for. The attention to detail was very high. I spent a week at Atmosphere and could have stayed longer. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The outdoor shower was a nice touch. There are a couple of restaurants, but I only ate at the main restaurant. The menu has a good selection, but the specials were my favorite. Of course the highlight of my stay was the diving. Sai was a great DM and it was often just him and I. Most of the dive team has worked for Atmosphere for many years. That region is known for it's macro marine life and it did not disappoint. In addition, I had 3 massages with Jay Ann that were incredible. Not Philippines prices, but still very much worth it! I really enjoyed my stay at Atmosphere and look forward to returning.

The Philippines are known for great macro and wide angle underwater photography and Atmosphere Resort and Spa is one of the best places I have ever stayed. What made this place so special is that I was traveling with my girlfriend who is a non-diver, but loves to snorkel, and Atmosphere is perfect for both her and I. Atmosphere is the only place that I have been to that offers a snorkeling guide (just like a dive guide) that showed her around and made sure she got to see all that Apo had to offer. He even would use her gopro to video her so that she got a personal video. We also went on land excursions to the market, the waterfalls, downtown shopping and to the Soup Kitchen that Atmosphere sponsors which was a very special place to see. It is worth giving up one of your dives to see the kids at the kitchen and how happy they are and how dedicated the people who staff it are.

Atmosphere is a world class RESORT and SPA. The suites and one bedroom apartments are like having your own private deluxe home on the property. Complete with Kitchens although the food is so good there, you don't need to use them. The well manicured grounds include lush vegetation, palm trees, a seaside negative edge pool, restaurant, Bar, gift shop, dive area and camera room with individual cubes. I can not say enough about the Spa service and facilities at Atmosphere. We bought a package that included 6 treatments and each one was unique and relaxing. You must try the Water Massage!

Diving: I have dove some incredible macro and muck sites in Anilao, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, but the macro/muck at Atmosphere was truly special. Mimics, wonderpus, coconut, and hairy octopus species were regularly seen. An house reef was one of the best sites hosting an active colony of mating mandarinfish, multiple species of lionfish, frogfish, pipefish (ornate, robust, etc.) eels, rare shrimp and tons of other unique finds. Every dive was like a scavenger hunt with the dive guides assisting as much or as little as you wanted. Not only was the macro incredible, but the 30 minute boat ride to Apo Island provided great wide angle options with an abundance of turtles, walls, drift dives, sea snakes and schooling fish. And for an add-on, you can take the ferry over to Cebu where you can swim with the whale sharks of Oslob.
