Comments	This was my second trip to Atlantis Puerto Galera and it didn't disappoint! There are a wide variety of dive sites and critters to be seen. While the big fish are limited to a few dive sites, all dive sites have lots of small fish, nudis, critters and healthy corals. The dive staff are great, and you can dive 5 dives a day if you want - truly eat, sleep and dive. Dives are limited to 60 minutes (I think night dives are a bit shorter) but that's necessary if you're going out 5 times a day. Some people commented that it would be better to do 4 longer dives, which is also reasonable. The lodging is very comfortable. I recommend spending the extra money to get a quiet room away from the beach. While the sea view is wonderful, the bars next door are really loud. The beachfront is packed full of bars and resorts, and the bay also has lots of boats and 2 floating bars. But Atlantis has a great dive shop, nice beachfront bar, a spectacular dining room, and a small pool set in a private setting. The room was very nice, bed comfortable, and the food was great. Do the Verde Island trip. For big fish, be sure to dive The Canyons.

UW Photo Comments	Tenders are just small and temporary transport - nice dedicated rinse tank as soon as you get on shore, and a very nice fully outfitted camera room a little ways back in the resort - with great lighting and everything you need.
