Philippines September 2022 – Coral Reef Ecology Workshop Series

The Republic of the Philippines is a tropical nation made up of more than 7,000 islands. The Coral Reef Ecology Workshop Series is a one of a kind trip where participants dive together and attend daily talks conducted by marine biologists hand-picked for this trip. Home to more than 3000 species of fish and 450 species of coral, including some of the most diverse marine life found anywhere. Dazzling coral gardens, dramatic walls & historical wrecks. When you've had enough of all those wonderfully colored fish and the endless magic of the corals, then it's time to come over to the dark side. Shallow bits of underwater desert characterized by fringed eyes swiveling to follow you, this is muck diving. Where you will see creatures you never knew existed. Atlantis Resort Dumaguete is surrounded by an amazing tropical garden with some of the rarest plants to be found in the Philippines. Relax and join us for a dive adventure you will never forget!
