Just spent a week diving with Asia Divers / Galleon.
The diving was fantastic. Dived with two particularly good dives Maria and Ruben.
Maria in particular was not only an amazing spotter, but really exhibited a level of client support and service not often seen in dive ops. I watched her dive with some less experienced clients and she was patient, instructive, safe, and very positive. On top of that she really knows the reef and has good eyes. If I went back, I would definitely get her whether it is a super expeirenced group or just beginners.
Galleon was solid and sufficient. The big surprise was the food which was delicious!!!! Really well done - fresh, creative, and flavorful.
Also, all the comments about concerns with the bar scene in the nearby town are misplaced. Galleon is in a different area really separated from the boisterous bar/restaurant strip. Galleon beach has its own restaurants which are lovely, quite, and delightful. It would be like not going to Manhattan to stay on Central Park because you were worried about Times Square.... just don't go there.
