I am looking for a good diver-friendly dive resort in the Dumaguete-Dauin area of the Philippines. I want a slightly upmarket place that puts onus on diving and yet offers good creature comforts. To give an example elsewhere, Little Cayman Beach Resort is my beau ideal of what a land based dive resort should be like. I don't like to hike back and forth long distances from the diving area to the basic amenities.
I looked at a few options but cannot make up my mind.
Atmosphere Dive Resort is too expensive and is the kind of over-luxurious place that I usually avoid. In my experience, in such places diving takes a second place to creature comforts.
El Dorado Beach Resort certainly seems interesting but they seem to work too separately from Dive Society, the dive op on their property or adjoining it. This could work both ways.
Liquid Dive Resort and Mike's Dive Resort also look interesting but not much infor on them.
Of all the ones that I checked, Atlantis Dive Resort appealed to me most. I normally do not like all-inclusive packages but this one comes with a great sounding boat-dive itinerary that includes night dives every day. Unless I am missing something, so far this seems to be most appealing.
I request opinions from those who have been to one or more of those.
