Embarking on a week-long adventure with the Korean International School proved to be an extraordinary dive training experience at El Galleon/Asia Divers. From conquering PADI courses to engaging in community service and cultural immersion, our resort in Puerto Galera set the stage for an unforgettable educational journey.
Dive Training Excellence:
Our students from Hong Kong not only aced their PADI courses but also delved into the wonders of underwater exploration in Puerto Galera, the acclaimed diving capital of the Philippines. The immersive training sessions provided by Asia Divers left a lasting impact on their understanding and appreciation of marine life.
Beyond the Depths:
Beyond the dive sessions, our school group experienced a myriad of activities that showcased the beauty and culture of Puerto Galera. From a sizzling BBQ night at the Waimea compound to an intriguing “Blue Talk” with Blue Alliance, a breathtaking sunset cruise to Talipanan Beach, and an exploratory day trip to Verde Island, each day was filled with excitement and adventure.
Community Engagement on Verde Island:
A standout moment during the week was our visit to a local school on Verde Island. Our students had the unique opportunity to engage with young learners, sharing activities and games that left a positive impact on the local community. The generous donation of a printer by the Korean International School, accompanied by paper from our team, further strengthened the bond between our school group and the Verde Island community.
Certifications and Commemorative Shirts:
Celebrations were in order as our students achieved their PADI Open Water and Advanced certifications. To commemorate this achievement, each participant received a personalized Asia Divers shirt, ensuring they carry a piece of our incredible journey with them.
Fiesta Night Extravaganza:
The grand finale of the week was our Philippine fiesta night, where a delectable array of Filipino delicacies delighted the senses. El Galleon’s dedicated staff showcased traditional Philippine folk dances, and the fiery talents of fire dancers added an unforgettable sizzling touch to the evening. The night concluded with a breathtaking fireworks display, leaving an indelible impression on all attendees.
In conclusion, El Galleon/Asia Divers offers more than just exceptional dive training; it provides a holistic educational experience that combines underwater exploration, cultural immersion, and community engagement. Bring your school group to Puerto Galera for a dive trip that goes beyond the depths – an experience that fosters knowledge, camaraderie, and memories that last a lifetime.
