ATLANTIS DIVE RESORT, Puerto Galera, Philippines
MAY 4-18, 2013

You arrive Manila a day or 2 Before Sat. May 4 (Leave USA May 1 or 2)
We Return Manila on May 18. You leave for USA after May 18th

Here is your chance to experience the fabulous Philippine Islands, noted for having the greatest species diversification in the world. I have been diving at least 2 months per year, every year, in the Philippines since 1976 & have dived over 250 islands. Puerto Galera (Port of the Galleons) is very special!! As early as the 10th century merchants from Indonesia, China, & Malay were already doing business here. It was a safe port for Spanish Galleons seeking refuge from storms & its protection is a great feature with the world's weather being so unpredictable these days. I will be handling all your questions & reservations. Check out my website at www.lynnfunkhouser.com to see all the critters, etc.

You will experience the wonderful hospitality of the Filipino people who care for all your needs. My dive masters are great critter finders & there are so many great critters to find!! From here you can dive the magnificent Coral Canyons festooned with pink soft corals, huge sea fans, & huge schools of fish. Sabong (town where Atlantis is located) is surrounded by so many sandy dive sites (muck diving elsewhere) & is inhabited by all the exotic critters on your wish list; every color of ghost pipe fish, frog fish, flamboyant cuttlefish, seahorses, mandarins, leaf fish, so many species of nudibranchs, crabs, shrimp, etc. The house reef is excellent! No signs of global warming here.

You will not be losing any weight here! Atlantis has a superb chef! Food is abundant w the best tropical fruits, incredible desserts, a cappuccino machine!, fresh seafood, roast beef, pork, chicken, Filipino, Japanese, Continental, American & vegetarian dishes served w style English is widely spoken in the Philippines & Americans are loved. NO malaria! Great shopping, inexpensive spas, & fun tours can be enjoyed if you chose to spend time in Manila.
