What a great affordable boutique dive resort in Puerto Galera! The rooms are basic but spacious. I was in a poolview room but next time I will stay in the villa which looks amazing. The dive operation is very good and the food menu is extensive. Best part is the owners are always on site, including their kids and dog Bubbles. It has an awesome family vibe and the owners make you feel like part of the family. They are also very flexible and will do everything they can to make your stay memorable. The resort is located right on the beach and away from the yucky part of town. The views are incredible! You can dive 4-5 times a day and the diver to guide ratios are small. Hot water is very HOT, and the wifi is so good I could stream live games.

Cocos is scalloped hammerhead central. If you want to get close to hammerheads daily, and see a wall of hammerhead sharks, there are not many places that can compare than Cocos. Expect to also see massive schools of Jacks, lots of marbled rays, Galapagos sharks, silvertip sharks, silky sharks and white tip reef sharks. Making an occasional appearance are also tiger sharks, whale sharks and mantas. leave your macro lens at home. The best night dive in the world can also be found in Cocos where you see hundreds of whitetips hunting for food and getting into a feeding frenzy. There is no need for baited shark dives. The island itself is a beauty. You will pass by numerous waterfalls on your way to the dive sites. A visit to to the ranger station and a hike up to a viewpoint is also a must do on Cocos Island.
A dive trip to Cocos is an adventure of a lifetime and well worth the 36 hour crossing from Puntarenas on mainland Costa Rica.

This is a new hotel that opened up in 2023. Rooms are large and modern with a kitchen and separate bedroom. The views from the rooms, the pool, and especially the restaurant are incredible. Food in the restaurant is excellent, and one of the best things to do in Moorea is to go for Happy Hour in the restaurant and enjoy the sunset.
The hotel is also very convenient. There were multiple food places to try within a walking distance from the hotel. The town is also walkable, maybe 20 minutes.

Top dive resort in Puerto Galera. There are many room categories and I stayed in a poolview room, which is simple and nice. The resort is located away from the hustle and bustle of Sabang town but close enough if you want to explore a little. The resort has lots of greenery and it feels like you are in a tropical rainforest. Their dive shop is called Asia Divers and are the only ones with a dock. The dock is massive and there are lots of space to gear up and hang your gear to dry. Getting on and off the boats are also the easiest. The camera room is located under the bar and have a dozen or so stations. The restaurant is large and serves great food and there is a massive wine fridge for wine enthusiasts. One of the best things about diving with Asia Divers is that they give you a warm wet face towel right as you get back on the boat to wipe the salt water off your face after a dive. It is a small and easy gesture, but it makes a huge difference!
