AMAZING diving with.a great crew!
We had an amazing trip to Tubbataha Reef on MV Resolute. The crew and the diving were outstanding and have only the best things to say about them. The boat itself had a very bad smell in the cabins that you can smell as soon as you start to go downstairs. I don't know if that is a plumbing problem somewhere, but the smell is very strong and they have placed lots of air fresheners trying to help the smell, but that makes it even worse. We had 4 people in our group who were unable to sleep in their cabins due to the smell. The cabins are small and not all as pictured online. 4 of the cabins are the same picture online but the other 4 are not. Suggest you try to get cabin #1-4, #5-6 have a smaller cabinet and the ladder is in a different spot on the bed. Cabins 7 & 8 are extremely small and more like a storage closet. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and the crew were great, extremely helpful and safety conscience. The diving was amazing and I am so happy I had the opportunity to go. Only downside was the smell in the cabins!

Tubbataha Experience
Dive, food and the whole crew was excellent. The boat owner and chef was very considerate with food selections due to the allergies, their services is really great specially Joan. Dive guides always keep the dive safe and fun trying their best to find pelagic. The boat gets the job done bringing divers to Tubbataha. I hope that they figure out how to eliminate the bad odor that affect the rooms 7 & 8 down the hall. Overall I enjoyed my experience in Tubbataha with Resolute and I will come back with this crew with the same boat as long as they fixed the bad odor.
