Explore the resort

Scandi Divers has everything you’ll need to enjoy a memorable stay, from the peaceful pool and  oceanfront bar, to the white sandy beach and plenty of exciting excursions on offer. Together, Scandi Divers and its sister resort, Campbell's Beach Resort, offer a range of rooms to suit all budgets. There are two beachfront restaurants serving up international, Filipino and western cuisine, and an oceanfront bar offering a selection of refreshing drinks. After a day of sunbathing on the white sandy beach and swimming in the pool, the friendly staff can arrange relaxing spa services in your room, on the beach or in a local spa.

While scuba diving is the main attraction, there are also plenty of other activities to keep you busy. Enjoy snorkeling off the house reef, kayaking, or hop on a boat to explore dozens of deserted beaches and coves around Puerto Galera’s shores. Visit waterfalls and natural pools, or experience an adventurous day out at X-Treme Sports Philippines where you can try mud kart and ATV rides, go kart racing, paintball and more. For something truly different, ask the staff about a visit to the Mangyan villages, where the original inhabitants of Mindoro still live a minimal, traditional way of life.
