Comments We spent one week here at Atlantis Dumaguete after previously diving at Atlantis Puerte Galera in the Philippines. Dumaguete is situated in a more beautiful location than Puerte Galera and the resort itself is more elegant.
Diving is fantastic! We saw so many exotic fish and nudibranchs; a fish I.D. book come to life. Marcos,one of the DM's is also a marine biologist! All DM's are outstanding, respectful of marine life and very professional.
Food very good; service was slow since staff would wait for all of our group to be seated before serving-so it was not their fault yet the latecomers in our group who held everyone else up.
A daytrip into town was provided with Noel an excellent guide.
Biggs, the attractive young woman from Australia, is the energetic and efficient manager; ask her to introduce you to the Dog Dream Team--2 Jack Russells and a Golden Lab.
