Ten tropical nights at Scandi Divers Beach Resort — beachfront living, exceptional hospitality, and an optional 36-dive package in one of the world’s great marine environments.
October 16–26, 202710 NightsBig La Laguna BeachOptional 36 Dives
Scandi Divers sits directly on Big La Laguna Beach in Puerto Galera, on the island of Mindoro. It is a relaxed tropical resort built around the thing we came for: extraordinary time in the water.
Between dives, the experience slows down: meals overlooking the water, pool time, a one-hour massage, tropical evenings and a farewell fire-dance party before we head home.
Because the diving is an add-on, this trip also works beautifully for non-diving travel companions.
