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.

Good boat, Good vibes, Good dives
Tubbataha did not disappoint. The reefs lived up to every bit of their reputation, and the diving was simply spectacular. From the sheer walls to the abundance of marine life, every dive felt like a gift. The crew made the experience. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, they went out of their way to make every guest feel cared for. Their hospitality reflected real pride in their work, and I am grateful for their service. One small note for fellow travelers: getting in and out of the top bunk takes a little patience and agility. Come prepared for that, and you will have nothing to complain about. Highly recommended.

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.

This was an excellent liveaboard experience!! The crew was all super kind and helpful. The reef in Tubbataha was so alive and vibrant, we saw lots of sharks, turtles, nudis, and many more things! And the food was stellar, can’t speak highly enough about the variety and quality of the food. Overall such a great trip!! Thank you Karla, Gilbert, Jonathan, Mark and the rest of the M/Y Resolute team!! High recommend this trip to anyone and everyone!!

Great crew and amazing dives
Tubbataha, as expected, was amazing. Healthy corals, mantas, hammerheads, hundreds of reef sharks, and large schools of jacks. This was the perfect start to a lifelong of liveaboard trips. The crew was super friendly and helpful both on deck and underwater. Karla, the ship manager, made sure everyone felt cared for, setting a positive vibe for the whole trip. The dive masters were pros but also gave us some freedom to explore around (safety first, of course). The Nitox mixed on board was spot on, with around 31/32 PPO2 for every tank. The food options were so diverse and so tasty that you wouldn't believe it was served on a boat. The cabins were a bit snug, and I did bump my head a few times on the upper bunk. Plus, there was a funky smell, but it didn't bother me that much because I was so wiped out after all those incredible dives. If you're prone to seasickness, take note that Resolute isn't a huge vessel, so you might feel the waves more. Overall, the trip was absolutely unforgettable, and I would definitely recommend Resolute.

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.

Amazing! Must do!
I had an amazing experience on the Resolute liveaboard in Tubbataha. The diving was truly world-class — pristine reefs, incredible visibility, and a great mix of pelagics and macro life. Every dive felt well-planned and safe. The crew were outstanding — professional, attentive, and genuinely warm. The dive guides were knowledgeable and did a great job adapting to different diver levels while ensuring everyone had a great experience. The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained. Cabins were compact but functional, and the common areas were perfect for relaxing between dives. Food was consistently good with plenty of variety, and they were accommodating of dietary needs. What stood out most was how smoothly everything was run — from dive briefings to logistics, it felt effortless as a guest. I dropped my gopro on the trip and the boat manager was kind enough to send out a message as well. Overall, a fantastic trip and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to dive one of the best sites in the world.

Unforgettable experience
Whalesharks! My last time seeing a Whaleshark was almost a dacade ago. I am so lucky with Resolute this week that we saw whalesharks 3 times! I got a really good video. I enjoy the whole week with the professional guides and organisation that makes it a very safe, well-organised, joyful and magical experience. The food was fantastic as well, totally exceeded my expectations. Dive, eat, sleep, repeat. Simple and happy.
