Our diving trip was a bit mixed...
Positive:
The staff on the boat were absolutely great. Always smiling, positive and helpful. But also professional.
The food was just as fantastic. I don't think we've ever eaten as well on a diving trip as we did here. The menu was very varied and the presentation on the plates was like in a gourmet restaurant.
Thanks again to all the staff.
Negatives:
The ship is getting on in years and is no longer very inviting. The indoor lounge was not cozy, but the sun deck upstairs was quite nice.
The rooms were super small. It was difficult to walk past each other. A small double bed downstairs and a bunk bed upstairs (only to be used as storage). There was almost no other storage space for luggage. All in all, very uncomfortable and not inviting to stay. The bathroom was so small you could hardly turn around. Twice the bathroom was under water due to some leaks and had to be vacuumed.
Diving was rather disappointing. Tubbataha is actually known for great diversity of both small animals, many corals hard and soft; but also larger fish and schools. But there wasn't much of that to be seen. There were a few schools of barracudas and jacks as well as many turtles. Sharks were extremely sparse. The dive sites at different locations were very similar, so you could have stayed in the same place. The current was almost always present but unproblematic.
Worrisome:
Nitrox was added to the bill at the end, and not too little. In general, I find it very worrying that costs for nitrox are still being charged on boat diving trips. Everyone only dives nitrox and this should already be included in the total price. In addition, we were never once invited to check the nitrox levels ourselves.
For the trip with Atlantis, which by the way was by far the most expensive diving trip we have ever done, we couldn't get rid of the feeling that they are striving for absolute profit maximization without providing the expected service. We will definitely not be booking any more trips with this company...
