Congratulations to our Russian Open Water Students!

Puerto Galera Scuba Diving Resort

Congratulations to Russian couple Denis Letunov and Viktoria Parshina for successfully completing their OPen Water Diver course with Scandi Divers Resort instructor Conan Fagan.

Only a month before that, Denis and Viktoria did the Discover Scuba Diving course with Scandi instructor Robert Marquez, and loved it so much they couldn’t wait to get back and get their full Open Water qualification!

Well done guys!

Frolicking with a Lionfish – Video

Thanks to Scandi Divers Resort manager and dive instructor Terry O’Dowd for this great footage of one of our divers filming this very beautiful, and very relaxed Lionfish.

Puerto Galera is blessed with an abundance of Lionfish and you can expect to see these gorgeous creatures at most of the dive sites. The cargo hold of The Alma Jane wreck is home to many Lionfish. Quite amazing!

Party with a Surprise!

School of Rock at Scandi Divers Resort Puerto Galera Once again Scandi Divers Sky Bar was host to a great night out and a party with a twist. Mark Amdal (AKA Papa Mark), a resident of Big La Laguna, celebrated his longtime girlfriend Rose’s 30th birthday.
