Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“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!”
Recommended for: Dive masters and crew. Comfortable rooms. Food.
