The Classic Club

The Classic Club is now well into fourth year of Scuba diving and dining. There is nothing better than waiting for Thursday to dawn, then it's off to Action Divers for a drive at one of Puerto Galera many and varied divesites.

After a quick shower, it's over to the Fullmoon Bar and Restaurant for a refreshing Gatorade or may be of ice cold San Miguel, then on to one of the selected good restaurants that now exist in the Puerto Galera area.

Over the last three years the restaurants that we patronize now outdo each other to ensure that their meal will indeed be memorable. In other words, it contains enough calories to sink a medium sized aircraft carrier, or at least enough to a gourmet such as local icon Heneage Mitchell, the "pint sized" Editor of the Philippine Diver magazine.

The Classic Club also organizes several liveaboard trips every year: this year, they are planning three of even four trips to the Sulu Sea. Sof if you are in the area on a Thursday, drop in and say 'Hi' to Roscoe Thompson of Action Divers, join the Classic Club for a dive and then relieve your parched throat over at the Fullmoon Bar and Restaurant for a cold one before enjoying a gourmet lunch. For more information,contact Roscoe at Action Divers on (+63-973) 751968 or email: info@actiondivers.com.
