Comments We flew into Dumaguete from Manila. Took 2 hours to get to the resort due to our Resort bus t-boning a truck. Bumps and bruises, but we did get to the resort and got free massages for our experience. We made two dives at Atlantis Dumaguete before boarding the Atlantis Azores live aboard. We dove with whale sharks, thrasher sharks, Massive schools of sardines. Not a lot of small stuff to start, but the closer to Puerto Galera we got the better the macro got. Verde Island was a highlight, incredible macro, but there was current. At least three nights we had rough water during crossings to a new location. I was thrown out of my bunk one night. Take some meclazine for those nights. After arriving at Atlantis Puerto Galera we spent a week diving there. Awesome resort, food and diving. Macro heaven! On leaving Puerto Galera, the boat ride was nice, but the bus ride is long and full of potholes.
