Scandi Divers Staff Xmas Party

It’s been a hectic xmas and new year for us all at Scandi Divers, so it took us a bit longer than we planned to get our photos organised and published, but better late than never!

The Scandi Staff Xmas party was a rousing success, and a great night for everyone. There was food, music, dancing, karaoke, xmas presents, and some of the male staff even got dressed in drag before singing! (which had everyone in stitches)

Big thanks to all the wonderful Scandi staff for their hard work in 2013. We wish them all the best for 2014!

A big thanks to the VV Dive Group! Lot’s of great diving and kept us all very busy 🙂

They finished off the trip with a farewell dinner at the Scandi Sky Bar, with a beautifully cooked pork lechon as the guest of honor!

Come back soon guys 🙂

Thanks to the ‘I love Diving’ Group from Shanghai

Many thanks to the ‘I Love Diving’ scuba-travel group from Shanghai, who spent a fun-filled few days with us at Scandi Divers recently. Lots of diving, and lots of fun!

While they were here they made sure to take a trip to the ever-impressive Verde Island dive site (not to be missed!) and finished off the trip with a delicious group dinner that turned into a quite a party, as you can see from the photos.

We had a great time with the ‘I love Diving’ group, and hope to see them all again soon!

Happy Birthday Conan!

Our good friend and Dive Instructor Conan Fagan (yup, he’s an Irish lad) recently turned 29, so from all the staff at Scandi Divers Resort, we’d like to thank him for all his hard work and good times, and wish him all the best for the coming year!

In true Irish style the party started of quite civilised, but after a few beers it seemed that the cake was just too good not to be shared forcibly with everyone! A good time was had by all 😀

Scandi Divers & Campbell’s Resort Staff Party in Tagatay

resort puertogalera

To celebrate a good year and reward the staff from Scandi Divers Resort and Campbell’s Beach Resort for all their hard work, the resort owners took the staff on a day excursion to Tagatay.

Tagatay is about halfway between Batangas and Manila. This scenic city, surrounded by mountains and forrests lies along a ridge averaging 2000ft above sea level, overlooking Taal Lake, and the still active Taal Volcano!

The staff enjoyed horse riding, zipline rides, picnicing and souvenier buying, overlooking the spectacular scenery of Lake Taal and the volcano.

We’d like to say thanks again to everyone, and congratulations on a job well done throughout last season!

Next time you stay at one of our resorts, ask our staff about an alternate way back to Manila and go and visit Tagatay yourself. You won’t be disappointed!
