Absolutely fantastic trip for anyone interested in diving off the beaten path in the Philippines. The entire trip was expertly coordinated from the information sent to us pre trip to our pickup and delivery back to airport. The resort was simple but clean with a hot shower, fantastic food, welcoming staff and beautiful ocean view. The marine diversity was amazing with beautiful corals, sea turtles, tons of nudis and even a few reef sharks. The DMs did an excellent job of showing us hidden pigmy seahorses, frogfish, nudis and more. I feel priviledged to have the opportunity to dive in such a beautiful marine park sanctuary and appreciated the resort’s commitment to marine conservation and eco-friendly marine interaction.

I recently had the amazing opportunity to go on a dive expedition with a group of experienced divers with Diver Bliss. From the moment we met Ara, the expedition organizer at the airport, I was blown away by the professionalism and expertise of her and the dive master team. They provided thorough briefings before each dive, ensuring that we were well-prepared and knew exactly what to expect underwater. The underwater experience itself was truly unforgettable. We explored vibrant reefs teeming with colorful fish, majestic sea turtles, and even spotted a few sharks along the way. The visibility was incredible, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the underwater world. Throughout the expedition, safety was the top priority, and I felt confident and secure in the hands of the dive guides. They were attentive and knowledgeable, making sure that each dive was not only enjoyable but also conducted in a responsible and sustainable manner. Overall, the dive expedition exceeded all of my expectations and left me with memories that I will cherish forever. I cannot recommend this experience enough to anyone who has a love for the ocean and a sense of adventure. Thank you to the team for Ara, the Sogod dive masters team and the Sogod Resort hospitality team for this amazing dive expedition!
