DIVING

You need to experience it for yourself because the colors, textures and creatures are beyond words.  This is how scuba divers and underwater photographers describe Philippines diving.  The Atlantis Infiniti brings you right to exceptional reefs teeming with marine life and coral reefs many other dive destinations envy.
