Atlantis Philippines
"Puerto Galera Resort"
May 1-8, 2027
My friends…First Coast Divers is proud to offer this exciting & very affordable dive trip adventure to the renowned Atlantis Philippines Dive Resort in Puerto Galera. Not only will we be diving some of the most iconic dive sites in the Philippines, but we will also be pampered by the attentive staff of Atlantis Philippines.
First off…Google “scuba diving Puerto Galera” and read for yourself why this area of the “coral triangle” is so popular within the dive community.
"Review From Alert Diver Magazine......"
"When you get off the boat on Sabang Beach, near Puerto Galera on Mindoro Island in the Philippines, a sign that reads “Welcome to Sabang, Your Gateway to the Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity” greets you. That phase defines the diving in the region, as you will not find more fish species anywhere else on Earth.”
“You will see a lot of different species on a single dive, but there’s stunning diversity in the habitats as well. Every dive can be wildly different as you move from classic muck dives to white-sand reef dives, wall dives, drift dives, macro dives, and wreck dives, all within an hour’s boat ride from Puerto Galera.”
"Diving in the Philippines is an experience like no other. With more than 7,600 islands and rich biodiversity, the Philippines boast some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet.”
“Puerto Galera should be on top of everyone’s dive destination list because of the unparalleled underwater experience it offers combined with its breathtaking marine biodiversity, great diving conditions year-round, and plenty of top-side activities. Whether you’re an advanced underwater photographer or a novice diver, the Philippines always has something extraordinary to offer.”

As I write this, we have just returned from our 2024 trip to the Philippines. And what can I say…this trip was truly something special! I could use the words “spectacular”, “epic”, “breathtaking” and all those adjectives would be appropriate. But to simplify it…this trip was just plain AWESOME. The Atlantis Philippines resort was outstanding. All the support staff, cooks & dive staff were top-notch. You never want for anything. I can go on and on about them, but needless to say, we would not be returning if they didn’t do a good job. They work tirelessly to ensure we have the best experience possible. And not only that, the Filippino people are just so wonderful, friendly and hospitable. It was such a pleasure spending time with them and getting to know them. I knew the diving would be great, but the care shown to us by the staff is what truly made this trip special. And this trip is extremely affordable considering everything involved. Not to mention that the resort will be offering us up to 5 dives a day on most days of our stay!
My friends…this is a limited availability resort trip. Most resort trips we will take up to 24-28 people but on this trip, we can take a maximum of 18 people. And this trip is certainly open to our non-diving friends & loved ones. But 18 people max is all. So…don’t delay…secure your spot today with your deposit.
*Single Divers: The resort has a few Deluxe rooms that are a little smaller than the normal, but they do not charge a single-supplement fee for these. Usually, as a single, you would have to pay an upcharge but not with these rooms. But…I only have a total of 3 rooms available to 3 single divers. Available on a first come first serve basis.
*Quick Note About Minimum Certification Level: Atlantis Philippines does not mandate a certain certification level, but I personally would like you to be at least an Advanced Open Water Diver.
