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.

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!!

Amazing trip! Thank you so much
The boat is very well organized and the staff is extremly friendly and helpful. The food was amazing - i am vegetarian and the chef made separate dishes for me :O i did not expect this level of care (and so much delicious vegetarian food)! The guides were very knowledgable and they made sure we were save during strong currents - i felt very comfortable with them. Thank you Jonathan and Mark for showing us so many amazing dive spots! I was in the small cabine which had still it's own toilet and AC. The room was cleaned every day.

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.

Incredible experience
The food we had was great and you never felt hungry because there was always amazing food. The crew was so helpful and attentive. The dive masters were very skilled and safe. They were great at pointing out rare species. The dives and itinerary was lovely. I saw things I didn’t even know existed. I recommend this liveaboard to everyone.

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!

Great trip in Tubbataha!
We had an amazing week on the Resolute in Tubbataha. Besides the diving being spectacular, the boat was very comfortable and the staff were all amazing. The beds were great, AC in our room worked well, and the private bathrooms were nice with hot showers every day. The rented dive gear was all very good and the food each night was fun and of different varieties. Special shoutout to Karla, for being an amazing boat manager and nicest person ever, Josh, for being a great DM, and Joan for doing everything behind the scenes to make it a great trip. 10/10 recommend!
