Atmosphere Resorts & Spa

A polished Dauin beachfront resort whose dive center works the muck sites along the coast and runs boat trips to Apo Island's coral gardens. Camera room, nitrox, courses through professional level and unusually strong family and spa provision for a dive property.

Staying there: Apartments, suites and penthouses set in gardens along the dark-sand shore; the resort caters equally to divers and non-diving partners.

Prices: Upper-band for the Philippines with packages combining rooms, diving and meals. Confirm Apo Island trip scheduling and rates with the resort.
