Book the Atmosphere Summer special

Soon, summer will be upon us and with it the wonderful flat seas and blazing sunshine that we are usually blessed with from June onward. This summer, to try and pry you away from the equally beautiful summers of Europe and the United States, we offer a “Stay for 6 nights but pay for 5” promotional package between June and September. Visit our online booking engine to make your reservation, or contact enquiries@atmosphereresorts.com 

Last minute - Join us in Palau for some shark and manta action...

Every year, Atmosphere charters one of the Siren Fleet liveaboard ships for an exotic dive destination. In May 2019, we head off to Palau on the Palau Siren, a destination we have enjoyed visiting twice before. If you choose to come with us, we invite you to avail of a special offer to stay in Atmosphere for a few days before or after the cruise at a very good rate. Contact us for details at ulrika@atmosphereresorts.com

Cruise the Visayas on the Philippine Siren

Sign up for an amazing special trip with drop off or pick-up at Atmosphere. With so many great destinations within the Visayas region, why not join us on a 6 night cruise around the Central Visayas in August 2019 or July 2020? We will dive with the thresher sharks in Malapascua, the sardines in Moalboal and amongst the stunning coral gardens of Balicasag onboard the S/Y Philippine Siren of Worldwide Dive and Sail. As a special treat, the trip either begins or ends in Atmosphere - which is why we will make you a very special package for a combination dive holiday. Contact adam@atmosphereresorts.com for pricing and packages.
F&B update
Bring in the light! Our fine dining restaurant Blue turns white
Our Fine Dining restaurant Blue has – true to its name – always welcomed dining guests to its navy blue tables with matching table cloths. To bring in a bit more light, we have upgraded  and exchanged our furniture for lovely light beige weaved tables and chairs with matching grey cushions, a refreshing change.

Reef Research just got that much more exciting!

We are proud to introduce you to IMR - The Institute for Marine Research – a non-profit organization in Dauin aimed to conduct research on coastal marine ecosystems. IMR was initiated by Atmosphere Resorts in 2018 and is now managed by marine biologists Chelsea Waters and Rafael Manrique. IMR has officially commenced the “Dauin Long-Term Reef Monitoring Project”, a project very close to our hearts. The project uses scientific evidence to understand what endangers our coastal ecosystems, as well as to transform and encourage local efforts to ensure sustainable use and management of the ecosystems in Dauin.
Do you want to dig in and join in the research? Become a research assistant? A Divemaster? A Scuba Instructor? All of those? Within IMR, there is scope to sign up for short or long term programs – make sure to pass this on to people you know who may be keen on a change of career or a time out researching our reefs. 
For more information about IMR, visit our website or Instagram page.

Frogfish February
It’s that time of the year again – Frogfish February graced us and as usual, we have a lot of cute frogfish around. From baby frogfish so small that you can barely see them, to colorful clown frogfish and giant frogfish trying to camouflage themselves against a sponge or rock. Our Dr Frogfish – Daniel Geary – is busy teaching the PADI Frogfish Specialist course, and guests come out of the water with mostly froggies on their SD cards! We expect the frogfish craze to last for another few months and we look forward to showing them to you when you come next.
