Welcome to explore some of the world’s best scuba diving in the Philippines. The world-renowned Apo Island with its walls, stunning coral and schooling fish is a short boat ride away. Some of the world’s rarest critters compete for the muck diving underwater photographer’s attention along the Dauin coastline near Dumaguete, where Atmosphere is situated. The area is often frequented by underwater photographers in search of exquisitely rare shots.
