Scandinavian Divers Inc.

Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines

Mindoro is recognized as one of the very best diving areas in all of Asia. You can confirm this for yourself several times a day by diving at the dozens of diving sites within a 15 - minute boat trip from Scandinavian Divers. The underwater visibility varies, of course, but is normally at the positive side of 15-20 meters.

One of the most unusual aspects of the diving sites around Mindoro is the rich mixture of hard and soft corals.

Scandinavian Divers Inc. has nine rooms, a restaurant, bar, toilets, a classroom, and of course an area where you can just sit and relax over a game of cards or whatever else you might feel like. And on the roof you'll find "Sky Bar" - a restaurant/bar with an exceptional world-class view over the ocean and surrounding Big Lalaguna. The view is also exceptional at night, where you can take in an unobstructed view of the sky from the area that is not covered.
