Asia Divers 35th Anniversary

It’s hard to believe it, but 5 years ago Asia Divers  celebrated our 30th anniversary with a huge celebration with friends from all over the world. We now mark our 35th anniversary with gratefulness and much happiness that despite the past couple turbulent years we are still rocking in here in Puerto Galera. In the past few months we’ve enjoyed seeing many friends from the past years coming back to visit and welcoming new guests here for the first time to show them the beauty of Puerto Galera. Here are a few  memories from our 30th Anniversary below:

From Russia with love

We are so lucky to have had Igor as part of our Asia Divers/El Galleon family for many years now and we always look forward to seeing him and his group from Russia (Aqua Don) return here.  It’s been a fantastic week….Thank you for your long time support!

Great times with Blue Line Divers

We have had a amazing time with the group from Blue Line Divers  (facebook.com/bluelinediversau ) from Melbourne. It was another one of those bookings that fell through in 2020, so we we’re super excited to see it finally happen. Thanks to Al from Blue Line Divers for being such a great group leader and keeping it all together and to Ian from Allways Dive Expeditions  for making this a smooth and successful trip. Happy hours have been  very busy and the bell has been swinging alot this past week. Congratulations to Jamie, Clinton and Sharon for all doing their 100th dives here too.

 

A very interesting dive for everyone  as Jamie from our Blue Line Divers group decided to do it in the buff for his 100th dive.  Everyone got to see even more of the wildlife of PG! Congratulations to Jamie, Clinton and Sharon for all doing their 100th dives here.

Fantastic  to have Scott Gutsy Tuason back here with his family. He got his fill of  Mindoro Macro and blackwater diving for sure in the few days that he was around.  Shot with Nikon D5 Nauticam 60mm, Backscatter MF-1 Mini Flash, 60mm FITPro 2600 focus light and Z330 Inon strobes. from Squires Sports. https://squiressports.com/
