Atlantis Adventurer Liveaboard, Philippines

A Liveaboard Designed for Divers

The Atlantis Adventurer is built with divers at its heart. The spacious dive deck offers easy entry and exit, supported by two tenders that whisk divers to and from dive sites with ease. Photographers will appreciate the three-tier camera table, personal storage spaces, and hot water showers for comfort after each dive. With Nitrox available on board, divers can extend bottom times and make the most of their adventure-packed itineraries.

Carrying just 16 guests across seven staterooms and one luxury suite, the Adventurer ensures an intimate, boutique atmosphere. Each cabin features a private bathroom, shower, and climate control, while the luxury suite offers additional space, a desk, and storage. After a day underwater, guests can unwind with a film on the flatscreen TV, browse the onboard library, sip cocktails at the wet bar, or soak up the sun on the partially shaded sundeck. With a crew-to-guest ratio of more than 1:2, the dedicated 10-member team delivers exceptional service throughout the journey.

Seasonal Itineraries: Four Ways to Explore the Philippines

What sets the Atlantis Adventurer apart is not only its comfort but also its carefully curated itineraries that follow the best diving seasons in the Philippines.

January – mid-March: Apo Reef & Coron Wrecks
A diver’s dream combination of reef and rust. Apo Reef is one of the world’s largest contiguous reef systems, teeming with vibrant corals, reef sharks, turtles, and schools of fish. In Coron, divers explore haunting WWII shipwrecks, now transformed into thriving artificial reefs.
Mid-March – early June: Tubbataha Reefs
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and marine sanctuary, Tubbataha is often considered the crown jewel of Philippine diving. Accessible only by liveaboard, this remote site offers encounters with hammerheads, whale sharks, manta rays, and massive schools of pelagic fish over sheer walls covered in pristine coral.
June – December: The Visayas
From Bohol’s dramatic walls and healthy reefs to Cebu and Malapascua, the region showcases a staggering range of biodiversity. Malapascua is famous for its thresher shark encounters, while Bohol’s reefs offer everything from pygmy seahorses to schooling barracuda. These itineraries highlight the very best of the central Philippines, ensuring every dive feels like a new discovery.
