“Great trip for us all around. Thank you Scandi Divers!”

We had a fantastic holiday with Scandi Divers. I highly recommend this dive resort.

Ocean front rooms at Campbell's were steps away, spacious and loved by everyone in our group.

The dive shop staff were really top notch. Romell, Leo and Jeremy were awesome dive masters, and there were too many great additional staff to help with every possible need we had. Food kitchen and bar staff were also great. Mavi and GP took great care of us. Great trip for us all around. Thank you Scandi Divers!

"Best trip I ever had!"

I have been diving for a very long time, worked for a huge dive shop in the past. Guam, Jamaica, Texas, Palau. Hands down this is the best time I have ever had on any trip.

...The room was spacious and very clean, even had a 2 new TV's, so I could review my dive videos. If you are looking for a great place for a dive trip, this is the place to go

“Great place for diving!”

If you are looking for ease of diving as much as possible this is the place to go. Very organized and flexible times available for all diving and even got my friend and I to a couple dive sites we really wanted to see in a last minute's notice - canyons and Verde Islands. Diving itself in this area of Puerto Galera was amazing btw as there are things in the water there I never knew existed. Enjoyed talking with Dave the owner -Hello Dave! I would definitely go back.

“My best diving vacation.”

The last 10 days here at Scandi Divers Resort has been wonderful.

I have not dived for 3 years, but my time here has gotten me hooked all over again. The beautiful location blew me away and from my first step onto the beach, the staff greeted me with smiles and extraordinary good service.

“Great Time, Great Diving, Great People”

I was originally in an upstairs room, but since I have some minor back problems they moved me downstairs after just a few days. I was right next to the pool - great room, quiet, comfortable, pretty much exactly what I expected.

The diving operation here is top notch. Arman kept things flowing and my divemaster was great at finding critters (often very tiny ones), and picking great dive sites
