“Ik raad iedereen deze liveaboard aan.”
Hoogtepunten
De MY Resolute bestaat sinds 1998 en is momenteel een van de oudste liveaboard vaartuigen in de Filipijnen. Met een zeer ervaren bemanning aan boord, vaart zij langs Tubbataha van maart tot juni. Deze UNESCO werelderfgoed duikspot biedt geweldige duikcondities, waarbij duikers bijna altijd haaien tegenkomen. Hierbij krijgen zij de kans om witpuntrifhaaien, grijze rif haaien, verpleegsterhaaien en hamerhaaien tegen te komen. Van juli tot oktober verplaatst de Resolute zich naar de eilanden rond Cebu voor een aantal duiken in de Visayas, waar regelmatig walvishaaien, voshaaien en andere kleurrijke kleine wezens worden gezien. Het schip verplaatst zich vervolgens naar Apo Reef, waar duikers de kans krijgen om met hamerhaaien, rif haaien en andere grote zeewezens te duiken.
De Resolute kan maximaal 16 gasten onderbrengen in 8 cabines. Iedere cabine is uitgerust met airconditioning. Daarnaast zijn er 4 en-suite badkamers die tussen 2 cabines gedeeld worden. Alle maaltijden worden in het openluchtrestaurant geserveerd. Het diner is meestal in buffetvorm dat bestaat uit 2 vleesgerechten, 1 visgerecht, soep en groenten. Speciale dieetwensen kunnen voor aanvang van de reis doorgegeven worden. Aan de voorzijde van de boot zijn ligbedden beschikbaar waar gasten van de zon kunnen genieten. Daarnaast biedt de indoor salon wat verkoeling en vermaak met een entertainmentsysteem. Het grote duikdek bevindt zich aan de achterkant van de boot en biedt voldoende ruimte om uw uitrusting aan te trekken en uw spullen op te bergen.

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.

Super friendly and accomodating
Diving conditions were perfect Staff always accomodating and going the extra mile F&B yummy, excellent mix of local and international The boat manager Ms. Karla was just outstanding All in all, highly recommended if you prefer a smaller boat, which might not offer all the bells and whistles, but dedicated staff and great diving

Great crew and amazing dives
Tubbataha, as expected, was amazing. Healthy corals, mantas, hammerheads, hundreds of reef sharks, and large schools of jacks. This was the perfect start to a lifelong of liveaboard trips. The crew was super friendly and helpful both on deck and underwater. Karla, the ship manager, made sure everyone felt cared for, setting a positive vibe for the whole trip. The dive masters were pros but also gave us some freedom to explore around (safety first, of course). The Nitox mixed on board was spot on, with around 31/32 PPO2 for every tank. The food options were so diverse and so tasty that you wouldn't believe it was served on a boat. The cabins were a bit snug, and I did bump my head a few times on the upper bunk. Plus, there was a funky smell, but it didn't bother me that much because I was so wiped out after all those incredible dives. If you're prone to seasickness, take note that Resolute isn't a huge vessel, so you might feel the waves more. Overall, the trip was absolutely unforgettable, and I would definitely recommend Resolute.

Awesome diving and the best liveaboard experience
As expected, diving in Tubbataha was amazing. Healthy coral reefs with thousands of fishes, sharks and mantas. They are doing a great job protecting and managing these reefs! In addition, everything was excellent on board. Starting with the food: I'm vegetarian and they prepared delicious vegetarian food for us in every meal. I loved that the food is served on an exterior covered deck (instead of having lunch and dinner inside the boat as in other liveaboards), and the upper deck is great for taking naps! The Resolute has a lot of space to chill between dives and spacious cabins with comfy beds. The crew was also 5 stars, helpful and friendly, and the dives were really well guided with our safety being always the first priority. So what else do you want? 200% recommended!

Charged with all the warmth of Philippines ☀️🧡
Overall, it was an unforgettably beautiful journey with Resolute. My friend who already had a trip with them before recommended me to go together this time. I could see why. We love the crew. All diving crews in LiveAboard tend to be happy and nice but it felt beyond that. Ernie had been always checking whether we felt alright, Bob is a fully trustable divemaster, and Karla's been such an attentive sweetheart. They've made customized cakes to congratulate my friend's birthday (vegan) and one person who had his 100th dive. One thing to take into consideration is that the sea is quite turbulent and most of us went through some sea-sickness at least once. But that didn't stop us from eating, because the food was sooooo good. I was impressed with myself for continuing to eat despite being almost flown away from the deck (a bit exaggerated). That's how good the food was..! You will get fat in this trip. We saw lots of tropical fish - my favorite clown triggerfish was seen multiple times, massive turtles, sharks, rays, flamboyant cuttlefish, seahorses, so many nudibranches, lobster, bumphead, barracudas, pufferfish, lionfish, catfish, etc - oh not to forget the dugong! Only one downside of this trip is that compared to the other LiveAboard trip I had with Andaman, this time I had to pay separately for all the rental gears per day - which was around 300 USD in total. The cost was all included in Andaman. Ah, also bear in mind that you would have to get a taxi from airport to the pier which takes around 2.5 hours (one-way) and 273 USD (roundtrip, can be shared among three to four people). Other than that I can confidently say that I loved the trip. I'm very much interested in Resolute's trip to Tubbataha too. I heard you'll see so many sharks that you won't even get that impressed seeing one anymore. Hope to see you again soon! xoxo

Nuestro oasis en Filipinas
El vida a bordo ofrece la posibilidad de ver partes muy distintas de Filipinas en un tiempo reducido. El hecho de no ir con el barco lleno, nos aportó comodidad y confort en el crucero, disponiendo de todos los espacios para nosotros. La comida es realmente excepcional y muy abundante. Hace real el dicho de Dive, Eat, Sleep, Repeat. Las cervezas no son especialmente baratas por lo que son los precios del país, pero apetecen mucho después del último buceo del día. El buceo está dirigido por guías expertos y muy seguros (como crítica diría que cortan todo por el rasero del advance. No se adaptan a niveles más experimentados ni cambian los perfiles del buceo, impidiendo a buceadores con más nivel hacer una exploración distinta a la que proponen). Las barcas con las que nos llevan a los puntos de buceo son correctas y cómodas y con los marineros dispuestos a ayudar. El buceo es en paredes, con corrientes suaves, pecios, sin penetración profunda y mucho reef de una calidad excepcional y muy bien conservado. Sobre la organización del viaje, es cómodo volar a Manila y realizar el transporte a Batangas para embarcar (a unas 2-2,5 horas al sur). Hay muchas horas de navegación algunos días y otros con 4 buceos (empezando a las 7 y acabando a las 17h) un poco intensos, en mi opinión ya se hacen 4 buceos en los vida a bordo, pero la 4a es sobre las 20-21 horas y en los días de 2 son pocas . Recomiendo el nitrox (aunque no lo usamos nosotros) para los días de 4 buceos, ya que aporta en tiempos de fondo y en menos cansancio. Las inmersiones en Apo Reef son muy recomendables. Las de los pecios de Coron, son (a mi entender) insuficientes y las de Puerto Galera si te gusta el buceo de reef, es excepcional, pero se pueden hacer todas desde costa. En global, muy contentos de haber hecho esta cata por Filipinas y nos da idea de lo que hay y de donde queremos volver.

Eine spezielle Tauchsafari mit ungewöhnlichen Taucherlebnissen, heiße Quellen, Seekühe, Wracks und Haie!
Although the boat was old and originally build as a spyboat, we had a wonderful time. The crew helped wherever they could. Carla, the boatmanager was extremely friendly, took care of everything, was never in a bad mood. She is a wonderful person. The diveguides made a good job and offered us every day a new experience. We saw dugongs, sharks , wracks and were diving in a hot sweetwater lake. What a great tour!!! Maybe the cabins were a bit small and not very comfortable, but would always emphasize this tour.

WORST LIVEABOARD BY FAR
DO NOT BOOK THIS LIVEABOARD ! This is by far the worst experience I’ve ever had on a liveaboard and I will explain why. 1/ the boat is old and absolutely not adapted for a liveaboard. They gave me a 1m2 cabin when a bigger was advertised and I paid the same price. All the cabins smell extremely bad. When I complained, the owner told me that I didn’t have a choice. 2/ the gear on the boat was very old and absolutely not made or quality. I had to dive with a short and t shirt when I specifically mentioned that I need to rent the gear. 3/ the food was not good and you can’t eat outside the meals. There are no snacks or beverages onboard except the ones you have to pay. 4/ we had to curtail the trip and go back to puerto princesa after 3 days because one of the generators broke. The owner didn’t do the maintenance and chose to do the trip anyway so he wouldn’t lose money. 5/ when we arrived, the owner told us that the ac in the living room was broken. Later in the week when the generator broke down we understood that the generator was already almost broken and that’s why he decided to turn off the ac not to push it too much. Because of his stinginess, we had to curtail the trip. He offered to refund 1/3 for the missing dives but when it was refund time we realized that the refund was not 1/3 but 15% because he removed all the taxes and fees so he wouldn’t have to refund much money. 6/ This owner brought a very bad vibe on the boat. Setting way too many rules, making comments and remarks all the time, being disrespectful to people. His own staff hates him and feel uncomfortable when he’s around. This guy just bought a boat for his own leisure and is making money out of people’s hopes. 7/ we haven’t seen any manta or whale sharks. Tubbataha is not what it’s advertised for. Nice reefs lots of fish but that’s it. Not worths the price. Conclusion : if you wanna spend lots of money and be disappointed, feel bad and stressed out and not like you are welcome, dive with shitty equipment and eat shitty food then go for it. For those who are looking for a good experience, just book any other boat than this one. We made fun of the owner and the boat with the other guests because we have never seen such a circus on a liveaboard. The other guests were extremely experienced most of them are instructors or dive masters and been on many liveaboards. This review is the reflect on most the guests on the boat.
