I will be staying at Atlantis Puerta Galera next week.other than the diving are there any must see sites?
 
I don't think there's anything that can't be missed, but Tamaraw Falls & Tukuran Falls are both well worth a look. There's a nice view over Puerto Galera from the Ponderosa clubhouse, you can have a swim & lunch at Luca's on Talipanan Beach. You can also take a walk around to Small La Laguna and Big La Laguna beaches, and in the other direction to the lighthouse which has nice views to Verde Island and Calapan
 
Or, you can just dive dive more. ;-)
 
We got it, you're not interested in sightseeing.

If you're doing 5 dives a day it's a good idea to allow some offgassing time now & then. Apart from Tukuran most of the things I mentioned could be done without a major impact on the number of dives.

Not everyone is doing 45 min rec. dives either.
 
Some people just like the 5 dives a day, but I mostly just do 2 and enjoy the the rest of the day walking or biking. There is a local hiking group that meets up at the full moon and they hike different trails up in the mountains. Whatever you do make a trip to Verde Island. It costs a bit more, but well worth it for the diving.
