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.

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.

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.

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.

Our oasis in the Philippines
The liveaboard offers the possibility to see very different parts of the Philippines in a short time. The fact that we did not go with a full boat, provided us with convenience and comfort on the cruise, having all the spaces for us. The food is truly exceptional and very filling. It makes the saying of Dive, Eat, Sleep, Repeat true. The beers aren't especially cheap by what the country's prices are, but they're very appealing after the last dive of the day. The dive is led by expert and very safe guides (as a critic I would say that they cut everything by the yardstick of the advance. They do not adapt to more experienced levels nor do they change the profiles of the diving, preventing divers with a higher level from doing an exploration different from the one they propose). The boats with which they take us to the dive sites are correct and comfortable and with the sailors willing to help. The diving is on walls, with gentle currents, wrecks, no deep penetration and a lot of reef of exceptional quality and very well preserved. Regarding the organization of the trip, it is convenient to fly to Manila and make the transport to Batangas to board (about 2-2.5 hours south). There are many hours of navigation some days and others with 4 dives (starting at 7 and ending at 17h) a bit intense, in my opinion there are already 4 dives in the liveaboard, but the 4th is about 20-21 hours and on the days of 2 they are few. I recommend nitrox (although we don't use it) for days of 4 dives, as it contributes in bottom times and less fatigue. Dives at Apo Reef are highly recommended. The ones in the wrecks of Coron, are (in my opinion) insufficient and the ones in Puerto Galera if you like reef diving, is exceptional, but you can do them all from shore.Overall, we are very happy to have done this tasting in the Philippines and it gives us an idea of what is there and where we want to come back from.

- The boat wasn't crowded and it was like a private cruise. Very good weather and a very dedicated crew.
