Thanks to our resort manager/dive instructor Terry O’Dowd for capturing this beautiful Frogfish whilst diving on the Alma Jane wreck here in Puerto Galera.
The Alma Jane is a great wreck for advanced divers. There’s always lots to see both inside and around the wreck, with lots of critters camouflaging themselves on the superstructure too. Expect to see Batfish, Lionfish, Scorpionfish and Frogfish just for starters!
Here’s a little compilation of some photos of us, our friends and guests, throughout July 🙂
From all the staff at Scandi Divers Resort, we’d like to say thanks and farwell to Lloyd Rodriguez and his (large) group who enjoyed a great long-weekend of fun in the sun, and some Scuba Diving training with us.
Lloyd is a Philippines expat living in Canada, and brought his whole family from Canada, and then stopped in Manila on the way to collect his extended family before heading down to Puerto Galera!
The group all did Discover Scuba courses, with instructors Rey Magsino, Edna Brul and assistant instructor Robert Marquez, and Resort Manager/Dive Instructor Terry O’Dowd conducted the Bubblemaker course for Racquel Cincoleon.
We hope you guys had a great time and we all look forward to seeing you again!
Congratulations to our very own Rechele Magsino, who is the Scandi Divers Resort Employee of The Month for June 2013!
Thanks for all your hard work Rechele, we hope you enjoyed your extra day off!
Dive instructor and resort manager Terry O’Dowd was out snorkeling on the house reef again and found this beautiful Banded Sea Krait just a meters away from the resort.
We are truly very fortunate to have such amazing creatures so close to us!
Terry was using the headstrap mounted GoPro video camera, which is incredibly easy to use and is available to rent for Scandi Divers guests to shoot their own videos of their underwater experiences here in Puerto Galera.
Congratulations to Satu Tiainen for completing her Peak Performance Buoyancy course with Scandi Divers Instructor Conan Fagan!
Scuba divers should be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float, and it can be a tricky skill to master.
Divers who have the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart from others. They can glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, seeming with no effort at all. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings as minimally as possible.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as a PADI Open Water Diver and elevates them to the next level.
You will learn how to trim your scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water, and move more smoothly through the water (reducing your air consumption), as well as how to hover effortlessly in both vertical and horizontal positions. Excellent skills to have in any open water diving environment.
This course is one of the many PADI courses available at Scandi Divers Resort, so there are many options for ways for you to improve you diving knowledge and skills while diving with us in Puerto Galera.
Congratulations to Katherine Magsino, our accounts manager here at Scandi Divers Resort. scandidivers. She successfully completed her open water course, with our diving instructors Terry O’dowd and Conan Fagan.
We look forward to Katherine joining us on many more dives in the beautiful waters of Puerto Galera!
Congatulations to Ollie Haapanen from Finland on completing his Rescue Diver Course with Dive Instructor Conan Fagan and Divemaster Dennis Frandsen. Ollie passed his course with flying colours, and his girlfriend Satu was kind enough to volunteer to play the victim 🙂
