Expedition overview
A macro photography expedition for divers who travel for the rare, the slow, and the extraordinary.
Romblon is a hidden gem in the heart of the Philippine archipelago — a specialist macro diving destination where rare critters, super-macro subjects and photographer-friendly diving come together in a relaxed island setting.
This small-group expedition runs from the Manila pickup on 26 March to the Manila drop-off on 7 April 2027. The resort stay is 27 March–6 April at The Three P Holiday & Dive Resort, with 20 guided day boat dives included in the base programme.
The expedition is designed for underwater photographers, macro enthusiasts and experienced divers who prefer slow, deliberate diving over rushed sightseeing. Optional Nitrox, a specialist guide ratio and three night dives remain subject to the final accepted quotation.
Diving plan
20 planned day boat dives with optional night-diving add-ons.
The confirmed basic package includes 20 guided day boat dives around Romblon. The operator distributes them flexibly throughout the resort stay, based on conditions, recent critter sightings, and the needs of the group.
The focus is on slow, photographer-friendly diving, careful positioning, and ample time for macro and super-macro photography.
Nitrox, the final specialist guide ratio, and three requested night dives are supplements that must be reconfirmed in the final quotation. Blackwater or bonfire diving should not be presented as included unless specifically confirmed by the operator.
Възможност за нощно гмуркане
Night dives can be added to the base package. The exact number, price and availability of any blackwater or bonfire dives are confirmed in the final quotation and remain subject to local conditions.
Flexible 20-dive schedule
The 20 included day boat dives are distributed across the resort stay according to weather, ferry logistics, diver readiness and the local operator's recommendations.
