What’s been happening at El Galleon Dive Resort & Asia Divers
Allan is just waiting in anticipation for our new boat to be ready to go… were very close now. Checkout our new Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Mindoro-Sprinter-100292734654073/.

Four instructors joined in fun to get Jordan and David through their PADI Open Water course. Not that they need all of us…we just wanted to make their last dive something pretty special. A beautiful turtle decided to pose with us just to add icing to the cake. Thanks so much to Alan Dickson for always thinking of us and convincing the guys to do their dive training here at Asia Divers.

Family diving is super fun! It’s always great to have the whole Lu/Lo family back here with us. We’ve seen the kids grow up right before our eyes and of course seen the parents stay young forever! Welcome back to CY, Bonny, Tim and Mary!

It was a special week Mary to be able to do her Bubblemaker pool session and three follow-up dives in the ocean. She actually breezed through all the confined water skills from the Open Water course, just doing them for fun, and once she got in the ocean she had perfect buoyancy control…..all in two meters. The first steps of many more dives to come!
Check out the courses we can offer you and your family for a fun-filled family vacation.

Nothing quite like having a birthday celebration in P.G. Happy birthday to Akiko who joined us with Sue for the celebration.
Elly is now under the wing of Jamie to get her up to speed on the DPV’s and get her certified. She’s geared up to do some more dives on it so she can soon teach this PADI DPV Specialty course.

It’s always very special to us to have our previous guests keep coming back. Thank you to Sue and Akiko (who was not diving this morning), Kathy, Denny, Mariska and Lucas for coming back! Now go find those seahorses at Coral Cove…

Asia Divers was delighted to welcome Adrien and Tina back to the resort this week for some fun dives! Adrien also completed his 













Sabine is back in PG and right away back in the water with Jean-Pol François (aka “JP”), founder of Freediving Planet to introduce him to Asiadivers for some exploration freedives around this area. JP is PADI and AIDA Freediving Instructor Trainer, Judge trainer and organiser of countless national and international freediving competitions – and also holds the national static apnea record of Belgium. It was JP’s first visit to PG and he was quite impressed with the dive sites, the facilities and the team.. So hold your breath for more exciting freediving news… something’s brewing… 😉
JP’s friend Dyna was also visiting PG for the first time and took a few nice underwater pictures during the freedives… and she’s in some of them too.
