About this tour

This seven-day luxury liveaboard is a grand tour of the best diving the Philippines has to offer, weaving together the wrecks of Palawan with the marine riches of the Visayas. Cruising in comfort with spacious cabins, attentive crew and multiple guided dives each day, you trade long road transfers for waking up moored above your next world-class dive site.

In Coron Bay you descend onto the legendary World War II Japanese fleet, sunk in September 1944 and now draped in coral and teeming with fish. The itinerary also takes in Apo Reef, the largest atoll in Asia and the second-largest contiguous reef system on Earth, where powerful pelagics, reef sharks and the occasional thresher or hammerhead patrol the drop-offs. In the Visayas you dive walls and cleaning stations famous for turtles, schooling fish and superb macro life.

With professional dive guides, nitrox, gourmet meals and a route built around calm-season conditions, this is the most rewarding way to experience the country's underwater diversity in a single trip, from historic wrecks to thriving coral cathedrals.

About the area

This route spans two of the Philippines' premier dive regions. Palawan offers the historic wrecks of Coron Bay and the pelagic-rich Apo Reef Natural Park off Mindoro, while the central Visayas islands deliver healthy coral walls, turtle cleaning stations and some of Asia's best macro diving, all within reach of a single liveaboard voyage.

Frequently asked questions

What dive experience is required?
Advanced Open Water is recommended, as some sites at Apo Reef and the deeper Coron wrecks involve currents and depth. Beginners can join easier sites in the rotation.
When does this itinerary run?
The Coron and Apo Reef combination runs best in the calm dry season, roughly November to May, when seas are gentle and visibility is highest.
Where does the cruise start?
Departure points are typically Coron or Puerto Princesa in Palawan; confirm your embarkation port and arrange flights and a pre-cruise night accordingly.
