There is more to the Philippines than diving alone, with beautiful scenery and magical places for couples enjoy special moments.
We’ve selected two resorts in two separate destinations in the central part of the Philippines that offer comfort and privacy, along with great diving, things to do topside as well as just the right place to have a candlelit dinner with your toes in the sand.
Dive Thru Scuba Resort is on the popular island of Panglao, Bohol. Just a short boat ride from Alona Beach, Dive Thru offers peace and quiet and privacy away from the humdrum of the beach. It’s a small resort with very helpful and friendly staff.
Diving is very easy; you won’t have to lift a finger in getting your gear ready and onto the boat, before taking you off to the dive sites. Of the 4 days diving, you’ll probably want to go to Balicasag island a couple of times to say hello to the huge school of jackfish and turtles and experience the stunning hard coral reefs adorning the drop off around Divers Heaven and Sanctuary dive sites.
No trip to Bohol is complete until you have a trip around the island to take in its highlights, for example, the Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier Sanctuary, River Loboc and historic Churches.
Leaving Panglao in the morning, you’ll catch the Ocean Jet fast craft ferry to Dumaguete and be met by private car to take you to Atmosphere Resort in Dauin, you’ll arrive early afternoon.
Atmosphere Resort and Spa is one of the best resorts in the Visayas region. Everything you could possibly need is already there as standard! The suite rooms are very spacious, overlooking the beautifully tendered grounds.
For diving, again you won’t have to lift a finger; the team will take care of everything for you. All the facilities are superb, including an excellent camera room, spacious equipment room, comfortable briefing area and the dive boats laid out perfectly.
You’ll have 5 days of unlimited diving, which will include day trips to Apo island and Siquijor, all with Nitrox, of course.
On your last day at Atmosphere, you’ll enjoy being pampered in the Spa, where you’ll receive a sumptuous massage and manicure and pedicure. Yes, even the guys can do this!
In the evening you can dine alone on the beach, candlelit, with your toes in the sand, stars above and a glass of Chablis to toast what a most fantastic holiday you’ve experienced.
