El Galleon Dive Resort, Puerto Galera

Top dive resort in Puerto Galera. There are many room categories and I stayed in a poolview room, which is simple and nice. The resort is located away from the hustle and bustle of Sabang town but close enough if you want to explore a little. The resort has lots of greenery and it feels like you are in a tropical rainforest. Their dive shop is called Asia Divers and are the only ones with a dock. The dock is massive and there are lots of space to gear up and hang your gear to dry. Getting on and off the boats are also the easiest. The camera room is located under the bar and have a dozen or so stations. The restaurant is large and serves great food and there is a massive wine fridge for wine enthusiasts. One of the best things about diving with Asia Divers is that they give you a warm wet face towel right as you get back on the boat to wipe the salt water off your face after a dive. It is a small and easy gesture, but it makes a huge difference!

Quino El Guardian

This is not a luxury liveaboard, but is one of the best liveaboards I have been on. Cabins are quad share and bathrooms are located on the dive deck and shared among all the guests.
The Quino used to be, and still is a research vessel. They conduct citizen scientist trips where a scientist is on board and conducting research. Divers get to experience a marine scientist at work, with presentations from the scientist and divers can sometimes even assist in some research.
If you spend a lot of time in the cabins of a liveaboard, this one is not for you. If you like interacting with the other divers and making new diving friends, there are few liveaboard better at fostering this than the Quino. This is a very fun liveaboard for singles travelers.
While the cabins and bathrooms might be 3 star, the FOOD is nothing short of 5 STARS. Easily the best food on any liveaboard I've been on. The chef is top notch, and the rest of the crew are also really amazing.
There is also a tv lounge area, a massive camera table, nice open dining area and a large sun deck with shade.

This is a great boat for any Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. The outside might look a little dated, but the inside of the vessel is very well maintained.
It is not the largest boat in the fleet so there aren't so many guests on board which is nice when doing landings. The cabins are decent sized but are well organized so guests have a lot of space. the superior cabins are very nice and large.
Protip: Upgrade to a cabin with a window as the views out the window alone are worth the price of the upgrade.
The lounge area is massive and well designed with lots of TVs for the many lectures given by the crew.
The dining area is also well laid out to accommodate all the guests. Food was excellent as well, and all kinds of dietary restrictions were catered to.
The dive area is at the bow of the boat which makes gearing up and getting onto the zodiacs easy.
The zodiacs are comfortable and easy to get in and out of.
One of the best things about the boat is the crew. Every single one of the expedition crew is so passionate about their job and it really makes the trip so much more enjoyable.
