Vessel

Vessel information

Azalea was conceived by passionate divers and brought to life by experienced boat builders in the south of Palawan. Throughout its construction, special attention was paid to providing maximum space for divers and their equipment. As a result, this 21-metre vessel is both convenient and comfortable, combining a traditional design with a simple yet welcoming style.

This liveaboard caters to just ten guests in four bunk cabins and one master cabin. With so few divers on board, guests are guaranteed plenty of personalised service and will feel free to make unique memories that will last a lifetime. Operated by Liveaboard Diving Philippines, this yacht delivers divers to the top dive destinations in the Philippines, with week-long itineraries visiting the likes of Tubbataha, Coron, and Apo Reef. It even offers an adventurous exploratory voyage to the west coast of Palawan – an untouched spot in the South China Sea that few visitors have ever dived before.

Onboard Azalea

Whilst on board Azalea, guests are accommodated in four bunk cabins and one master cabin, all of which feature conveniences such as ensuite bathrooms, air-conditioning, plug sockets, and storage. On the main deck, guests will find the indoor dining area where delicious, freshly-prepared dishes are served. Equipped with homely dining tables, this area also doubles as an indoor lounging space and offers wonderful views of the surroundings.  Of course, the upper deck is where guests often congregate, with inviting outdoor lounge chairs and sun beds to relax in.  

Diving from Azalea

The dive deck on Azalea is located to the aft of the main deck and features ample space for gear storage, kitting up before dive, and convenient bathroom facilities. Between three and four dives are offered each day and an eight-metre rigid tender is on hand to transport divers to and from dive sites. Equipment can be rented at an additional cost.


Top tips

  • Bring a bit of pocket cash for onboard extras like gear rental, gratuities, and alcoholic and soft drinks. 
  • Join one of Azalea's dedicated dugong watching trips to spot one of Philippines’ most elusive marine creatures.
