Puerto Galera Resort Scuba Diving

Chinese New Year in Puerto Galera

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Chinese New Year celebrations at the Scandi Divers Resort Sky Bar. It was a great night, and everybody enjoyed the traditional releasing of sky lanterns.

In ancient China, sky lanterns were strategically used in wars. However later on, non-military applications were employed as they became popular with children at festivals. These lanterns were subsequently incorporated into festivals like the Chinese Mid-Autumn and Lantern Festivals.

All the best for the new year!

Jurassic Dive

Scandi Divers Resort mananger Terry O’Dowd conducted what he called the ‘Jurassic Dive’ on December 31.

The objective was to get old friends back into the water to dive after a lengthy absence. The other criteria was that the guys be ‘old timers’, no young-uns allowed 😉

The seven Jurassic divers had a successful dive at the Sabang Wrecks dive site, and came up at the floating bar for celebrations.

Congratulations to all seven participants, who had a cumulative age of 417 years!

The Jurassic dive will be an annual event, and we are hoping to break the age record next year!
