When you stay here, you’ll probably be surprised by the amount of Puerto Galera restaurants. There is everything – from super-cheap “turo turos” where the locals eat, all the way to fine-dining restaurants with professional chefs and delightful dishes. After scuba diving, enjoy a tasty meal!
If you stay at Scandi Divers, you will get to experience our food, which is popular among locals and tourists alike. While we are near the end of Big La Laguna beach, people often come all the way from Sabang to taste our food.
Why would they do that?
First, because it’s tasty. In the Philippines, it can be hard to get tasty food, especially when you’re traveling. But at Scandi Divers, we try to make the tastiest food in the area because we know how much our guests enjoy it. That’s why many think we have one of the best Puerto Galera restaurants.
The second reason why people love it is the variety. At most Puerto Galera restaurants, there is very little variety. Your choices are limited to Filipino food and a small selection of common Western dishes. Like finding tasty food, it can be very hard to find a wide variety of food. That’s why Scandi endeavours to make the most tasty, delightful food in the area.
To show you what we meen, here’s a quick snapshot of just a few things on our menu:
Puerto Galera Restaurant Food
- American Breakfast: toasted bread, ham or bacon, eggs, butter and jam, coffee or tea, orange juice
- Poached egg on toast: toasted bread topped w/ poached egg, coffee or tea, orange juice
- Ham, egg, baked beans on toast: toasted bread w/ ham, egg and baked beans, coffee or tea, orange juice
- Onion rings: sliced onion ring in beer butter
- Calamares: sliced calamares, choices in Japanese breadcrumbs or beet butter
- Garlic bread: minced garlic in rolled bread
- Caesar salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, croutons, onion and bacon, w/caesar dressing

Throughout the Philippines, the Puerto Galera nightlife is famous… and somewhat infamous…
The great thing about the nightlife here is that there is something for everyone. If your idea of a good night out is a relaxing night out with a nice bottle of red, you’ll find a number of perfect places in Puerto Galera. In fact, you can enjoy a calm night out in Scandi’s rooftop bar, overlooking the magnificent Big La Laguna Bay. It’s one of the best places to watch the sunset… and… we have a pool table!
Along Big La Laguna beach, there are a number of restaurants and bars where you can spend the evening hours with the Puerto Galera nightlife. There are often events held of various days each week, from Sunday’s BBQs at Campbell’s Beach Resort and parties at the beach club for special sporting events. These things are one of the fun Puerto Galera activities.
If you feel inclined, you can walk into the main town of Sabang, where you’ll find a range of other Puerto Galera nightlife options. This is the place to be if a relaxing night out is NOT your favorite thing to do.
Sure… there are places where you can relax, but Sabang itself caters mainly to the party-all-night customer, with bars, clubs and discos (including a couple of girly bars) that keep their doors open all night long. And the cool thing is that you’ll hear all the latest dance hits in most of the bars, so you’ll be dancing to up-to-date stuff.
One thing people love about the Puerto Galera nightlife is that it can be super cheap or slightly expensive, depending upon your tastes. While dinner at a nice restaurant might cost $30 all-in, you can also get ice cold beers for around $1, making a big night out a very cheap affair if you want it to be.
Some areas of the Puerto Galera nightlife can get a little wild, particularly in the center of the main nightlife area. You’ll find people wandering the streets all night long, and there is even a 24 hour bar where you can avoid worrying about sleeping all together.
Wherever you go, the Puerto Galera night caters to families, couples and singles. There really is something for everyone. Many of the divers enjoying the amazing diving will fill the bars at night, and there is a large retired army vet’s that live in Puerto Galera. With a range of options for every taste, you’ll have a wonderful time in Puerto Galera.
Keep the kids entertained on holiday & let them experience another world!
Scuba diving’s not just for grown-ups! Your kids can gain confidence in themselves whilst they learn about the amazing underwater environment.
The Bubblemaker: Under direct supervision from a PADI professional they’ll learn how to use equipment, how to equalise and how to clear a regulator 
and mask. Then the real FUN begins as the kids swim around & play underwater games. (Typically a 1 hour pool session. Min age 8 yrs. Max depth 2 meters).
Follow-up ocean dive: After the pool session lets go ‘say hello to Nemo’ & experience the wonders of the underwater world. Again with an instructor’s direct supervision and to a depth no deeper than 2 meters your children can enjoy the freedom of the ocean.
PADI Seal Team: Become a member of PADI’s elite & join the Seal Team.
This structured program is in 2 parts. Part 1 is pool based & teaches kids the basics of diving. In AquaMissions 1-5 they will hone their skills (regulator recovery & clearing, mask clearing, buoyancy etc). After that students can become Master Seam Team members by moving on to part 2 and completing 10 additional specialty AquaMissions. These specialties are an introduction to other areas of diving. From Creature ID to Search & Recovery to Snapshot Specialist. (Normally a 2 hour pool session for AquaMissions 1-5 + 1 hour for each specialty. Min age 8 yrs. Max depth 4 meters).
Junior Open Water Diver: For young people aged 10 – 14 yrs the Junior Open water course is exactly the same as the standard Open Water course. The only differences are certain age/depth limitations:
- Junior Open Water Divers ages 10-11 years old must dive with a PADI Professional or certified parent/guardian. Dives must not exceed 12 metres /40 feet.
- Junior Open Water Divers ages 12-14 years old must dive with a certified adult. (13+ years old can take the Open Water Diver course online).
The PADI Open Water course concentrates on the fundamental aspects of diving, such as diving equipment and diving technique. There are 3 components to the course: Independent study & review, confined water skills training & 4 open water dives.
