Philippines

For divers in tropical waters feather stars are a common sight. Almost all around the world feather stars bring colour to the under water environment. Despite its nice colours divers normaly do not pay too much attention to these animals. We are more likely to pay attention to all the fish around us; search for the bog animals and leave the feather stars on its own. We think of it as less interesting animals. But this means that we will miss a number of surprising meetings.

Atmosphere Resorts brings you a unique experience within the Philippine archipelago. Sympathetically situated within an old five acre coconut plantation, eight spacious boutique style suites, four garden apartments and two penthouses nestle discreetly, enjoying the spectacular beach front location of the estate alongside the warm coastal waters of the Philippine Sea.

Bahura is a tropical sanctuary tastefully designed in the heart of a 5-hectare beachside coconut plantation. It is an easy half hour ride from the Dumaguete Airport. All is lush, serene and worthwhile here…just as how you want your time to be.

It would be easy to run out of superlatives when describing Bahura Resort & Spa that has already become a recognizable landmark.

For my buddy it was the first time he was diving in the Philippines. We had been one week on a live-aboard and were diving all around Cebu Island. Beautiful corals, wracks and turtles, we had seen it all. But now we were one week on the island Negros with the capital city Dumaguette. Our hotel was a luxury resort called Bahura. There we went diving on the black sand. Negros is an island created by many volcanoes, hence the black sand.
