Scotty's Action Sports Network Inc

For more than 3 decades, Scotty's at South Palms MGallery has been a fixture of diving on Panglao Island, Philippines — a gateway to Bohol's underwater heritage rather than just another dive shop. As a PADI Dive Center with a PADI Instructor on the team, it runs the full range of PADI courses, from Discover Scuba Diving through professional-level training, alongside Nitrox, rebreather/CCR diving, snorkelling and EFR first aid.

Dive sites and what to expect

The center is known for the dramatic walls and lush coral gardens of Panglao, with regular trips to Cabilao Island, Alona Beach House Reef, BBC, Arco Point and Bita-Ug. Marine life ranges from sharks, whales, turtles and rays to eels, molluscs, crustaceans, corals and reef fish. A custom-built dive boat and premium rental gear support every level of diver.

With an onsite training pool, classroom, house reef, waterfront location, free Wi-Fi, parking and onsite accommodation, it suits everyone from first-timers to experienced divers. English and Filipino are spoken, with a strong focus on safety, marine conservation and South Palms hospitality.
