Highlights
Operating since 1998, MY Resolute is one of the longest-running liveaboard vessels in the Philippines. With a highly experienced crew on board, the boat visits Tubbataha from March to June. This UNESCO heritage site offers pristine dive conditions and shark sightings on almost every dive, with the chance of encountering white tip, grey reef, nurse, and hammerhead sharks. From July- to October, M/Y Resolute relocates to the island of Cebu for diving in the Visayas to see whale sharks, thresher sharks, and colorful critters. The ship then navigates to Apo Reef, offering the chance to dive with hammerheads, reef sharks, and other pelagic life.
Topside, the MY Resolute liveaboard caters to just 16 guests. There are 8 comfortable cabins available, each with individually controlled AC and en-suite bathrooms. Meals are served in the open-air dining room, and dinner is usually a five-course buffet consisting of 2 meat dishes, 1 seafood, soup, and vegetables. Special dietary requirements are catered to with advance notice. The ship's bow offers loungers and is a great place to soak up the sun, and the indoor salon offers a cool area with an entertainment system and a camera room. The large dive deck is located at the back of the boat and offers ample space for kitting up and individual gear storage.

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!

Casual boat. Good crew. Good diving.
We had good weather and decent diving for the week. Saw mantas, large schools of bumphead parrotfish, many nurse and white tip sharks and schools of barracuda. In most places the reef looked amazingly healthy. Overall, the crew was very helpful and friendly. Boat was a little cramped at times but generally it was a good boat to be on.

Resolutely Wonderful!
The diving was ok. We didn’t have the best conditions. But saw a few manta and some sharks. Highlight was the boat and her crew. One of the better liveaboards I’ve been on.

Diving trip tubbataha
Review resolute We were on the Resolute cruise from 2-8 april 2025 to Tubbataha reef with 4 experienced 3* CMAS divers who have been diving around the world. This liveaboard gives you a great cost quality rate. The boat is one of the oldest ones of the fleet but gives all the comfort you’ll need. We got the smallest cabin but beds and matress are very good. It’s small but you’re on a dive boat… The food was exquisite! It’s a great variety of local vs western food. The chefs do great work! Stewards, captains, compressor operators and engineers are lovely people. They’re open for a good talk and give you explanation and help for whatever problem you can have. Ex: one of the people had problems with his BCD and they solved it, bottles were always correctly filled and nitrox was prepared like it should be, we had problems with our toilet flush…solved. The dive masters and speedboat skippers were lovely! We had to fit our gear one time, they labeled, looked at the configuration and from then on we haven’t had to do anything anymore. They were very professional and strict about analyzing nitrox, this all for our own safety. Getting to the dive spot runned very smoothly, even when conditions were a bit more extreme. From the moment we surfaced again the speedboat rushed to our spot. Between dives they were very carefull with our diving gear ex: a cover was over the gear between morning and afternoon dives to protect them from the sun, normal glasses were kept safe during your dive. The dive masters (Athan, Josh, Gilbert and Carla) did tremendous work above and under the surface! They protect you as well as the reef. They know the spots perfectly and can change their lead due to weather conditions or current. We found some plastic and fishing lines and they help you to get it surfaced! Briefings were given very strictly with maps of the dive spot so everyone knows what comes. Simply said it was perfect!

A great time for all!
I absolutely loved this trip, Karla, Gilbert, Josh and the other staff were incredible. The dive briefings were always thorough and I always felt in good hands. The highlight for me was diving with the whalesharks - we were really lucky with this. Expect to see big schools of fish, reef sharks and lovely coral. The food was also amazing - thanks Chef! The rooms are on the smaller side, but each have AC and an ensuite. Drinks are on the pricier side - so if you like wine - BYO! Overall, this was a fantastic trip, massive thanks to Karla and Gilbert!

would not hesitate to go again with Resolute
Diving with the crew from Resolute was just amazing, professionals and great diving locations. The most economical cabin was very small, but with private bathroom and AC, bunks very comfortable and simply just great to get good night rest. Food served 5 times and day you must be careful not to come back home with few additional kg of weight :)

Dugong and Apo Reef on their best !
17 nice dives - especially the one with the dugong and the others in Apo Reef (bumphead parrotfishes, white tips, turtles ; colorful, pristine and so well preserved corals). Amazing visibility. Staff and dive masters were very professional and friendly (Aika, Gilbert, Jonathan…) Great food cooked by the chef who previously worked at the Shangri-La Manila

Lovely diving, crew and food!
We absolutely loved our dive trip with Resolute to Apo Reef - Coron - Puerto Galera. Due to bad weather coming, we could only have 1 day in Apo Reef instead of 2, but this proves that they put safety first and the extra Coron day (and wrecks) made up for it. They also went out of their way to make our 100th dive special. Even though it's an old vessel, it was very comfortable and clean. Big thanks to the chef who made the best food!
