Asia Divers
The Asia Divers dive centre is one of the very best in the Philippines, located right in the El Galleon Resort. We reckon they have the best location and facility the dive shop is built on a large, very spacious jetty. Get into your wetsuits and go straight on your allocated boat from the jetty where your dive gear is set up for you. Asia Divers is managed and run by Alan Nash from Australia and Tommy Sonderstrom from Sweden. Both are instructor trainers. Their dive instructors are fantastic and super customer friendly.
