Dauin, Philippines – Special Macro Trip 2026

5 days / 4 nights Land-based

To prepare for our upcoming Visayas Liveaboard in the Philippines, we have created a very special mini trip!

Dauin is widely considered one of the top macro and muck diving locations on our planet. Not only is it known as the frogfish capital of the world, but it’s also packed with all sorts of crazy, unique critters like the Mimic octopus, Wunderpus, Flamboyant cuttlefish, Harlequin shrimp, Seahorses, Blue ring octopus, Yellow pygmy gobies, Ghost pipefish, and so much more! We’ll also be taking a day trip to the world-renowned Apo Island marine sanctuary, home to more than 65% of the world’s coral species!

Dauin Deco Stop – Macro diving

About this trip

Your package includes up to 5 scheduled dives per day, including a night dive. You can rock them all out, or skip some dives to take time to relax and enjoy the serene resort. But it doesn’t stop there! Each guest also receives a 60-minute massage at the stunning Atlantis Spa to help you relax after the long flight to the Philippines.

Combine this with chef-prepared meals that Jay ranks as the best dive resort food he’s ever tasted, a gorgeous private resort surrounded by lush jungle right on a black sand beach, and over 20 dive sites just minutes away by boat. This is a deco stop you definitely won’t want to end!

And to make it even easier, we’ve arranged all flights and land transfers from Manila airport to Atlantis Resort in Dumaguete, as well as land transfer and flight to Cebu to board our Visayas Liveaboard ship. Plus, we were able to add extra luggage weight for your gear, with flights including a 30kg (66lb) checked bag per person. So you can just book and get ready to enjoy the magic of Dauin.
