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.

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!

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

Diving trip tubbataha
Review resolute We were on the Resolute cruise from 2-8 april 2025 to Tubbataha reef with 4 experienced 3* CMAS divers who have been diving around the world. This liveaboard gives you a great cost quality rate. The boat is one of the oldest ones of the fleet but gives all the comfort you’ll need. We got the smallest cabin but beds and matress are very good. It’s small but you’re on a dive boat… The food was exquisite! It’s a great variety of local vs western food. The chefs do great work! Stewards, captains, compressor operators and engineers are lovely people. They’re open for a good talk and give you explanation and help for whatever problem you can have. Ex: one of the people had problems with his BCD and they solved it, bottles were always correctly filled and nitrox was prepared like it should be, we had problems with our toilet flush…solved. The dive masters and speedboat skippers were lovely! We had to fit our gear one time, they labeled, looked at the configuration and from then on we haven’t had to do anything anymore. They were very professional and strict about analyzing nitrox, this all for our own safety. Getting to the dive spot runned very smoothly, even when conditions were a bit more extreme. From the moment we surfaced again the speedboat rushed to our spot. Between dives they were very carefull with our diving gear ex: a cover was over the gear between morning and afternoon dives to protect them from the sun, normal glasses were kept safe during your dive. The dive masters (Athan, Josh, Gilbert and Carla) did tremendous work above and under the surface! They protect you as well as the reef. They know the spots perfectly and can change their lead due to weather conditions or current. We found some plastic and fishing lines and they help you to get it surfaced! Briefings were given very strictly with maps of the dive spot so everyone knows what comes. Simply said it was perfect!

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.

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.

One of my best birthday dive trips!
It was very last-minute booking this birthday dive trip hence, I wasn’t too confident if it will turn out well especially, I was assigned the tiniest cabin (only one available) for twin sharing. However, it turned out to be one of the most memorable birthday dive trips! The crews – Karla, Gilbert, Bong and of course the Chef were part of this awesome trip. Good times really fly when you are immersed with memorable experience underwater – countless of reef sharks, tornado of jacks, varieties of schools of fishes (barracuda, sweetlips, tuna amongst others), vibrant coral reef communities, 2 mating octopuses, manta reef at safety stop and of course the whale shark who came to greet me on my birthday dive! BIG THANKS Resolute for building these precious memories with me! Appreciate Liveaboard.com too! :)
