News from El Galleon Dive Resort & Asia Divers, Puerto Galera

Animals on the beach

They’re back! Yes, it’s that time of the year again when the animals start to appear in P.G. They have been arriving over the past week for this annual event to celebrate birthdays for Terry Llewellyn and John Tucker. John, Terry Graham and Mark Bluestone have been doing some diving, but as usual, the shinanigan alert is up and nothing will surprise us!

Look who’s here!

Always nice to see Jon Wade and Cathy Hornby back here. Hong Kong holidays make long weekend trips very do-able!

Congratulations to David Coller who has done 100 dives with Asia Divers! Also along for a great weekend were Rebecca Lin and friends Frederick James Adamson (Jim) and Sufen Lu (Angie) who did their AOW with Troy

Congratulations to David Sullivan for getting a 700 T-shirt!

Australian Embassy visits El Galleon

Another amazing weekend of sunshine and blue skies has gone by again. We have had the pleasure of having a large group from the Australian Embassy here with to enjoy it all. Thanks to Malcolm Hammer and Louise Abbott for helping to get this all together. For many of the group it was their first time to visit Puerto Galera and we suspect that it won’t be their last!

A full pool this past Saturday with 8 DSD’s, 3 refreshers, and 4 OW students…not bad for the middle of rainy season!

Pete made sure that discovering scuba for the first time was a very happy experience for Richard, Ruby, and Oscar Rodgers, Karen Bishop, Tamiyka and William Abbott, Fergus and Oliver Macks.
