Additional Information - ONE WEEK RESORT / ONE WEEE LIVE-A-BOARD!

Join Southern Maryland Divers on this epic, once in a lifetime "bucket list" trip to the Philippines in 2028! This will be our third trip to the Philippines and this is one you don't want to miss. We have set the trip date out far enough so that you can save and plan. This trip is not to be missed and will surely be one for the books.  We'll be diving with the premier dive operation in the country known for five world-class valet dives per day, fine accommodations, gourmet meals and concierge service.  With two weeks of diving, you will have the opportunity to see the best that the Philippines has to offer.

Our group will arrive in Manila and be transported via private transportation to the Atlantis Dive Resort in Dumaguete. We will spend March 4th thru the 11th diving at the resort. On March 11th, we will board the Atlantis Azores live-a-board yacht to spend the next week (March 11th-18th) on our trip to the world renown Tubbataha!

IT'S ESTIMATED THAT IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE DIVES, WE CAN GET UP TO 50+ DIVES ON THIS TRIP!

Check out some of our pictures from our 2022 and 2025 trips!

Trip insurance is highly recommended and very affordable.
