“Seeing a hammerhead and barracuda were really cool. ”
For a budget liveaboard adventure in the Philippines, look no further than the Liberation. A custom-built outrigger, the Liberation is fully equipped for backpacker accommodation for dive trips to Apo Reef Marine Park, the Wrecks of Coron and diving experiences with Dugong. The large dive platform located behind the pilothouse allows for easy access into the water. Equipped with two large benches which hold 40 tanks and has gear storage underneath, the Liberation can comfortably accommodate up to 14 divers. Detailed dive briefings are provided before each dive by the English, French and Spanish speaking Instructor and dive guides who have a wealth of experience and local knowledge of the dive sites.
Topside, the no-frills Liberation provides comfortable sleeping arrangements in two dorm-style cabins with six single bunk-beds and four double bunk-beds for couples, foam mattresses and hotel-quality sheets and pillows. There are two full-sized toiled cubicles to share, and whilst there is no running water on board, there is freshwater available for bucket showers. Toiletries and towels are provided, and a small generator provided lighting and charging power after sundown. Even though the Liberation is a budget boat, there is no skimping on the food provided. Hungry divers will be well taken care of with the variety and excellent quality of delicious snacks and meals available throughout the day. Vegetarian and vegan diets can also be catered to upon request. For relaxation in-between dives the top deck is open and perfect for topping up the tan. At night, the larger top deck is a great place to take a mattress and blankets to sleep under the stars.
The Liberation is a fantastic option for those on a budget that want to see all the underwater beauty the Philippines has to offer. Call us or book online today to reserve your space.

Low end Liveaboard to Apo Reef
This was a fun trip, with a fun group of 12 other guests and 6 or 7 crew . The food was more than acceptable and was always available at the time. The Dive team was excellent. Although I didn’t take up the option for more training, the course execution looked to be professionally done and fun. Between dives, the dive instructors also gave informal dive lectures, which were interesting and informative (and in French and English). The whole trip of 4 days was well organised and well managed. I would certainly consider sailing away on ‘Liberation’ another time.
