Highlights
Operating since 1998, MY Resolute is one of the longest-running liveaboard vessels in the Philippines. With a highly experienced crew on board, the boat visits Tubbataha from March to June. This UNESCO heritage site offers pristine dive conditions and shark sightings on almost every dive, with the chance of encountering white tip, grey reef, nurse, and hammerhead sharks. From July- to October, M/Y Resolute relocates to the island of Cebu for diving in the Visayas to see whale sharks, thresher sharks, and colorful critters. The ship then navigates to Apo Reef, offering the chance to dive with hammerheads, reef sharks, and other pelagic life.
Topside, the MY Resolute liveaboard caters to just 16 guests. There are 8 comfortable cabins available, each with individually controlled AC and en-suite bathrooms. Meals are served in the open-air dining room, and dinner is usually a five-course buffet consisting of 2 meat dishes, 1 seafood, soup, and vegetables. Special dietary requirements are catered to with advance notice. The ship's bow offers loungers and is a great place to soak up the sun, and the indoor salon offers a cool area with an entertainment system and a camera room. The large dive deck is located at the back of the boat and offers ample space for kitting up and individual gear storage.

would not hesitate to go again with Resolute
Diving with the crew from Resolute was just amazing, professionals and great diving locations. The most economical cabin was very small, but with private bathroom and AC, bunks very comfortable and simply just great to get good night rest. Food served 5 times and day you must be careful not to come back home with few additional kg of weight :)

Awesome diving and the best liveaboard experience
As expected, diving in Tubbataha was amazing. Healthy coral reefs with thousands of fishes, sharks and mantas. They are doing a great job protecting and managing these reefs! In addition, everything was excellent on board. Starting with the food: I'm vegetarian and they prepared delicious vegetarian food for us in every meal. I loved that the food is served on an exterior covered deck (instead of having lunch and dinner inside the boat as in other liveaboards), and the upper deck is great for taking naps! The Resolute has a lot of space to chill between dives and spacious cabins with comfy beds. The crew was also 5 stars, helpful and friendly, and the dives were really well guided with our safety being always the first priority. So what else do you want? 200% recommended!

Dugong and Apo Reef on their best !
17 nice dives - especially the one with the dugong and the others in Apo Reef (bumphead parrotfishes, white tips, turtles ; colorful, pristine and so well preserved corals). Amazing visibility. Staff and dive masters were very professional and friendly (Aika, Gilbert, Jonathan…) Great food cooked by the chef who previously worked at the Shangri-La Manila

A great time for all!
I absolutely loved this trip, Karla, Gilbert, Josh and the other staff were incredible. The dive briefings were always thorough and I always felt in good hands. The highlight for me was diving with the whalesharks - we were really lucky with this. Expect to see big schools of fish, reef sharks and lovely coral. The food was also amazing - thanks Chef! The rooms are on the smaller side, but each have AC and an ensuite. Drinks are on the pricier side - so if you like wine - BYO! Overall, this was a fantastic trip, massive thanks to Karla and Gilbert!

Casual boat. Good crew. Good diving.
We had good weather and decent diving for the week. Saw mantas, large schools of bumphead parrotfish, many nurse and white tip sharks and schools of barracuda. In most places the reef looked amazingly healthy. Overall, the crew was very helpful and friendly. Boat was a little cramped at times but generally it was a good boat to be on.

A special liveaboard with unusual diving experiences, hot springs, manatees, wrecks and sharks!
Although the boat was old and originally build as a spyboat, we had a wonderful time. The crew helped wherever they could. Carla, the boatmanager was extremely friendly, took care of everything, was never in a bad mood. She is a wonderful person.The diveguides made a good job and offered us every day a new experience. We saw dugongs, sharks , wracks and were diving in a hot sweetwater lake. What a great tour!!!Maybe the cabins were a bit small and not very comfortable, but would always emphasize this tour.

Great diving at unique divesites on a great boat with amazing Crew!
Traveling with MV Resolute means having a great time. I was on the Apo reef, Coron wrecks and the Dugong observation trip. Apo Reef is an amazing reef with beautiful coral gardens in the middle of the Zulu Sea. Coincidentally, the Manta also visited us during our dives. After that we dove in the ship graveyard before Coron. A journey into the past, now full of marine life. But the very next day we had an appointment with the protected dugongs from Calauit island. A feeling of happiness diving with them... goosebumps... Shortly before disembarking, the last dives in the Isla Verde Strait .. perfect end to a great diving trip with MV Resolute. I can recommend it.
