Discovery Palawan

Discovery Fleet Corporation is the Philippine based owner-operator of a diving live aboard and cruise ship as well as the in- house dive center of the private island resort Club Paradise, in Coron, Palawan. January and February finds us in our home port in Batangas, our jump off point for our Apo Reef-Coron Route. Apo Reef is the world’s second biggest contiguous coral reef in the world while Coron is famous for the karst limestone cliffs and the numerous Japanese wrecks from World War II. From late March to Mid June , we travel to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) via Puerto Princesa City in Palawan. Inarguably the Philippines premier dive destination, TRNP boasts of the mega fauna on every divers bucket list. Sharks are a dime a dozen, schools of jacks and barracudas, mantas and whalesharks appear against a backdrop of fields of pristine hard and soft corals. The Discovery Palawan relocates to Surigao from September to October and guests can explore the pristine reefs, deserted beaches and of Panaon and Dinagat Islands. From November to December, the ship transitions to Mactan Cebu where we welcome both diving and non-diving guests as we explore Kalanggaman, Malapascua, Pescador, Moal Boal, Oslob, Sumilon and Cabilao Islands. We will encounter mega fauna such as thresher sharks, mantas and whale sharks and the Philippine version of the sardine run. We can also visit the Cagayancillo group of islands with pick ups available from Dumaguete. Our ships are open for research expeditions, rescue and disaster relief, filming and shooting charters and private charters for both recreational and otherwise.
