Philippines, Puerto Galera – Nov. 2nd – 9th, 2019
Marco Vincent Dive Resort
Join us on a dive trip to White Beach, Puerto Galera, Philippines at the beautiful Marco Vincent Dive Resort.
This will be our third trip to the Philippines because we love it that much! From the moment they meet you at the airport until the day they bid you farewell at the terminal you will feel pampered and cared for. The fact is this trip was the BEST dive vacation we have ever gone on. When you arrive at the resort you have a tropical drink waiting for you, breakfast is served and you can schedule a complimentary hour message to begin your vacation. That’s just the beginning….the next day you step onto an 82 foot dive boat that has a full crew, a chef, 4 showers, 2 bathrooms, 3 areas of cushioned seating, indoor camera station, and more.
The staff at the resort is amazing. On the first day they knew our names and were always willing to help us with anything we needed. The resort has an open air courtyard and a beautiful pool. 3 restaurants on site. The meals were fantastic, delicious and beautiful.
The pampering doesn’t stop at the resort and the meals. When you arrive you put your gear in a crate outside your room and you don’t have to handle it again until you are packing it back into your luggage to head home. They truly do take care of everything…even your wetsuit. We were spoiled!!! The diving is world class. The area has amazing walls, full healthy reefs and wonderful muck diving. Included in our diving is a day trip to Verde Island, it has two dive sites that have so many fish it’s hard to see past them to the beautiful walls. On a night dive we saw our first Coconut Octopus and a Mimic Octopus. In fact, there was so much to see we couldn’t keep up with the dive master. Speaking of dive master every dive is escorted. For our large group they will stagger us in small groups so we don’t overlap.
The worst part of the trip is saying goodbye to these amazing people. We know them by name and can’t wait to get back to see them again. You will love Rizza, Marianna, Marlin, Warren, Nathan…you won’t want to leave.
Be sure to check out the Palau trip for a second week option.
Join us for a trip of a lifetime!!!!

Rescue Diver
Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.
The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills. Topics include:
