Atmosphere Resort Philippines Trip 2026

Atmosphere Resort Philippines Trip 2026

Well, that was a great trip to a top resort. This is my third time at Atmosphere resort, and I have to say it keeps getting better. 

16 Froggies and three froglets had a week at the Resort. Lina took the time to complete her PADI Open Water certification and was able to join the rest of us diving for the last couple of days. Not a bad way to do your cert 1:1 tuition in 27C water with 20m of viz!

We had three younger family members with us and I think they really enjoyed all that Atmosphere had to offer them…which of course included mum and dad getting a well-earned massage or two.

The small stuff, the corals at Apo Island and the Whale Sharks are the highlights of the trip. Having said that, Ian, Airdrie and Henry opted out of the Whale Sharks and had a day of canyoning. They returned with all their limbs intact and some happy snaps. Dynamic duo Renee and Emily got their photo mojo on and are going back to use the rest of the air they left in their tanks. The Attard Clan, Phil, Lina, Hugh, Hayley, Georgie, Ken, Oliver, Saskia and Imogen had some great family time and used their massage vouchers to the full. Clive, Gerdy, Warren and Dale made up the rest of the group and were happy little Frogs.

Anyway, enough of that here are some photos from the week.
